The generosity of the American theatre community shined brightly as six weeks of spring fundraising raised another record-breaking grand total for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
The 29th Annual Easter Bonnet Competition (#bwaybonnets) raised a remarkable $4,711,386, making this the third year in a row the event set a new fundraising record.
The news was revealed after two days of Easter Bonnet Competition performances April 20 & 21, 2015, which honored the fundraising efforts of 52 Broadway, Off-Broadway and national touring productions in song, dance, comedy and 18 ornate, handmade bonnets.
More than 200 of Broadway and Off-Broadway's most talented performers performed in this year’s show, which was once again held at the Minskoff Theatre.
