Stars from ABC's "All My Children," "One Life to Live" and "General Hospital" performed at the New York City event.

The announcement was made by Brian Frons, president, Daytime, Disney-ABC Television Group and Tom Viola, executive director, Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS.

The event featured host Cameron Mathison and headliner Susan Lucci along with their co-stars Claire Egan, Bobbie Eakes, Ricky Paull Goldin, Brianne Moncrief, Cornelius Smith, Jr., Chrishell Stause, Aiden Turner, Darnell Williams, Denise Vasi, Walt Willey and Jacob Young from "All My Children," Kristen Alderson, BethAnn Bonner, Kathy Brier, Scott Clifton, Kassie DePaiva, Mark Lawson, Hillary B.

The evening featured the ABC daytime and SOAPnet stars singing and dancing in a variety of musical numbers. Additional funds were raised via online auctions awarding the highest bidders of three separate packages to act in comedy skits on stage with actors from the three daytime dramas.

This year also marked the inaugural edition of SOAP-A-THON, an online fund raising initiative allowing fans to show their support and love for their favorite ABC daytime "Power Couple" by creating their own web page allowing their fellow supporters to make donations to support their favorite couple. The initiative raised over $50,000. In addition to the performance and online initiatives, ABC Daytime and SOAPnet extended the fan experience on March 9th with the Soap Nation Tour event. The special autograph signing event with cast from "All My Children," "One Life to Life" and "General Hospital" raised an additional $5,000 in support of BC/EFA, the nation's leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organization that draws upon the talents, resources and generosity of the American theatre community, to raise funds for AIDS-related causes and other critical illnesses across the United States.
