ETC presented Behind the Scenes with a check for $23,450 at this year’s USITT Conference and Tradeshow representing the recent proceeds from sales of the company’s iRFR and aRFR (Radio Focus Remote) app. Since the launch in 2009, ETC’s mobile app sales have generated over $585,000 in donations to the charity.

The iRFR and aRFR mobile apps enable convenient, touchscreen-based remote control for Eos family consoles and controllers. You can learn more about the apps from the ETC website and download them from the iTunes or Google Play stores. 

Sarah Danke, ETC’s Vice President of Marketing said, “ETC is honored to support this incredible organization who help to fund medical and mental health care to those who dedicate their lives to our industry. It’s inspiring to see how an idea from one of our employee-owners to donate the proceeds from these apps has grown into a contribution of over half a million dollars. That is truly remarkable. We also want to extend our gratitude to everyone who continues to purchase the apps—you’re helping make this impact possible!”

Tobin Neis accepted the check on behalf of the Behind the Scenes Board of Directors. Tobin commented, “BTS is immensely grateful to the employee owners of ETC for their generosity in donating the proceeds from the iRFR and aRFR apps purchased by ETC control users world-wide. Their donations will help to launch BTS into its 20th year of service continuing support for our colleagues in need through Basic Needs and Counseling Grants and the BTS Mental Health Initiative.”
