Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS is a remarkable organization. With this special night on Broadway, our goal is to once again raise awareness and substantial funds helping BC/EFA help those in need. Due to the overwhelming support from our fans, we are able to give back to them as well as the community at large.”
