Stars in the House, created by Playbill correspondent and SiriusXM Broadway, started in March 2020 amidst the ongoing pandemic COVID-19. It features stars performing from their homes to raise money for charitable causes. The episode featuring Family Ties cast will also raise money for The Actors Fund which was established in 1882 to support people in the artistic community. Also known as ‘a national human services organization’, the fund meets the need of the artistic community with a unique understanding of challenges involved such as essential needs like financial support to buy groceries, pay rent and pay doctor’s bills and many more, in a life in the arts.

According to Dailymail, Rudetsky and Wesley said they were thankful that the audiences continue to generously donate to StarsInTheHouse.com, which goes directly to The Actors Fund, helping anyone in the artistic community. They are overwhelmed with gratitude that they managed to raise over $15,000 during Tuesday’s all-day ‘Vote-a-thon’ broadcast’.
