The Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers has deep roots in theatrical entertainment. Not many pay attention to this fact, but our charity was once the charitable arm of the National Vaudeville Association. We are the only charity in the USA dedicated to helping people who work in movie theaters, as well as, theatrical distribution of movies. We are also the only charity in the USA with a grant giving program to purchase vital equipment needed in hospital neonatal units. The Will Rogers Institute has provided training felleowships to pulmonary and infectious disease doctors for over 50 years.
