For more than 35 years, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS has been the philanthropic heart of Broadway, helping provide meals and medication, health care and hope to those facing hardship and personal crises.
Equity Fights AIDS was founded in October 1987 by the Council of Actors’ Equity Association. Broadway Cares was founded in February 1988 by members of The Producers’ Group. In May 1992, the two merged to become Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
Today, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is the major supporter of the social service programs at the Entertainment Community Fund (formerly The Actors Fund) and awards annual grants to more than 450 AIDS and family service organizations in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. At times of crisis, Broadway Cares also awards one-time humanitarian grants to provide emergency aid across the US and around the world. 1,067,000 2,775,250 1,067,000 2,775,250

A HISTORY
GIVING
Dear Friends,
Our extended theater community is matchless in both its resilience and ingenuity. In the face of opportunity or challenge, I continue to be inspired by the compassion and unstoppable drive to care for each other.
This year’s Spring Fundraising Competition is the perfect example of this boundless kindness and creativity. Across the 21 Broadway, three Off-Broadway and 17 national touring productions that joined in the fundraising, shows stepped up with innovative approaches that invigorated their fundraising.
From auctions for stage-used props and photos with stars to bracelets and buttons handmade backstage by casts and crew members, audiences were constantly surprised and delighted by unique ways to make a difference. These efforts are rooted in the tradition of fervently signing Playbills and posters and holding Red Buckets in support of those in need.
This generosity from theater companies and you - the benevolent audiences - is already being put to vital use. Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS has shared $4.4 million so far this year with the Entertainment Community Fund (formerly The Actors Fund). Thanks to you, the Fund will continue helping people onstage, backstage and throughout the entertainment industry by providing a safety net of support when colleagues are facing health challenges or personal crises.
Plus, Broadway Cares already has awarded a record $2.83 million this year to 146 food pantries, congregate meal and meal delivery programs across the country. Just last month, an additional $985,000 was awarded to 44 nationally recognized LGBTQ+ health clinics and HIV/AIDS advocacy organizations. This summer, our National Grants Program will provide support to another 250 vital programs across the country.
Our industry’s limitless ability to reinvent and create doesn’t stop at fundraising efforts. When we decided to shift our celebration of in-theater fundraising to once a year at the fall’s Red Bucket Follies, we reimagined the traditional Easter Bonnet Competition into today’s event. And for this intimate gathering exclusively for our donors, a bevy of inimitable talent came together with spirit and enthusiasm to create Hats Off to You
We hope you feel the legacy and history of the Easter Bonnet Competition reflected in today’s performances. While the location and structure of the show may have changed, the heart of the event remains that as one of appreciation.
We look forward to celebrating with you and the wider community this December at Red Bucket Follies at the New Amsterdam Theatre. In the meantime, we extend our endless gratitude for your support in the form of today’s dream performances.
Hats off to you, and on with the show!
Tom Viola Executive Director
A TRIBUTE TO EASTER BONNET COMPETITION
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS’ annual celebration of spectacular spring fundraising spans more than three decades.
The legacy began in 1986 with “The Queen of Hearts,” an informal show initiated by wardrobe supervisors Gayle Patton and Irene Bunis. It took place backstage at the Palace Theatre during the original La Cage aux Folles. Cast members from La Cage were judged on poise, personality and talent by the rest of the company, who voted by putting dollar bills in a jar for each contestant. The effort raised $1,200 for the National AIDS Fund.
The event inspired so much fun and fundraising that the following year Patton suggested an “Easter Bonnet Competition.” Other Broadway companies were invited to participate. Fundraising ideas flourished, bonnets became more elaborate, stars joined in as presenters and performers. By 1990 – when it was shared onstage at the Majestic Theatre – the Easter Bonnet Competition had become a beloved beacon for AIDS fundraising across the Broadway community.
Produced by Suzanne Ishee and a host of dedicated coordinators and volunteers for its first eight years, the Easter Bonnet returned to the Palace Theatre in 1995 under the banner of Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS. In 1998, the show moved to the New Amsterdam Theatre and in 2007, it followed The Lion King to the Minskoff Theatre.
This year, the Easter Bonnet Competition has transformed into this evening's event, Hats Off to You. We’re thrilled to continue this legacy of spring fundraising while honoring you - the dedicated donors who have made so much lifesaving grant-making possible. We look forward to celebrating all of this year’s in-theater fundraising with you and the broader community at December’s Red Bucket Follies, the annual variety show spectacular once again set for the New Amsterdam Theatre.

Entertainment Community Fund
An Evolution of Support for the HIV/AIDS Initiative
When Keith McNutt attended a performance of Rent in the mid-1990s, he didn’t expect the stories told onstage to mirror his experiences as a case worker for the HIV/AIDS Initiative.
“I remember hearing the lyrics, ‘Will I lose my dignity, will someone care?’” McNutt said recently. “The words are repeated and repeated, and the pain and terror grows, and it reaches a crescendo of agony. It perfectly described what I was living every day with our clients.”
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS has been supporting the life-affirming work of the HIV/AIDS Initiative at the Entertainment Community Fund (formerly The Actors Fund) since the program’s inception in 1988. Before the merger of the two organizations, Equity Fights AIDS provided the initial funding for the initiative and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS continues to provide the majority of its annual budget. Last year, Broadway Cares provided $1 million to the HIV/AIDS Initiative.
In those earliest days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, case management at the Fund ranged from building support systems and “buddy” teams when clients were healthy to writing wills, finalizing funeral arrangements and being by their bedsides for their final days.
Thanks to the generosity of Broadway Cares donors and supporters, this commitment of compassion has never wavered — even as accessibility to HIV medication transitioned the disease from a death sentence to a manageable condition.
“The care we’re providing changed because now we aren’t primarily going to funerals,” said Kent Curtis, who has been leading the HIV/AIDS Initiative since 2007. “Now, our work has evolved into more long-term case management for clients of all ages.”
In 1996, Broadway Cares expanded its support of the Fund beyond the HIV/AIDS Initiative to provide initial funding to launch the Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative. In 2023 alone, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS awarded the Entertainment Community Fund $7.64 million, supporting The Friedman Health Center for the Performing Arts, the HIV/AIDS Initiative, the Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative, Senior Services, Addiction and Recovery Services, Artists Health Insurance Resource Center, The Dancers’ Resource, The Stage Managers’ Project and a safety net of other lifesaving services.
Since that first funding in 1988, Broadway Cares’ donors and supporters have helped ensure more than $140 million have sustained and helped expand the programs of the Fund. Broadway Cares remains the single largest financial supporter of the Entertainment Community Fund.
“I don’t know that there’s ever been a partnership in the history of medicine or social work that has stepped in so completely as Broadway Cares has with the Fund,” McNutt said. “We were able to create services that could meet the needs of our community. And that remarkable work truly saves people’s lives in the darkest moments.”

RED BUCKET VOLUNTEERS
An army of 226 tireless volunteers and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS staffers enhanced the Spring Fundraising Competition fundraising efforts this season. They held Red Buckets and sold autographed memorabilia in the lobbies of Broadway and Off-Broadway theaters alongside company members of participating shows. Over the course of six weeks of audience appeals, volunteers filled 3,220 shifts at 984 appeals. Our sincere thanks to these unsung heroes, Broadway Cares’ famous bucket brigade.

National Grants
National Food Grants
Food Grants Change Lives Along National Tour Routes
On a February afternoon, 11 floors above the hustle and bustle of Times Square, 18 dedicated Broadway actors and stage managers gathered as part of Broadway Cares’ food grants committee. Six weeks of dedicated Red Bucket Fall Fundraising culminated in this moment - the opportunity to distribute lifesaving aid in the form of meals, meal deliveries and congregate meal programs to countless people facing hunger and isolation across the country.
“The entire process was truly eye-opening for me,” said Edmond O’Neal, a stage manager and first-time food grants committee member. “It can be all too easy when you are in the middle of appeals seasons or the Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction to lose sight of the ‘why.’”
O’Neal helped award a record $2.83 million in grants to 146 food service and meal delivery programs across the country. Reaching often underserved and under-funded programs and organizations large and small - across 38 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. - these grants will offer relief and a helping hand to communities and individuals seeking warm, healthy meals and food programs.
Broadway Cares’ National Grants Program will award additional grants this spring to nationally recognized
AIDS service organizations, health clinics and advocacy organizations and to theater and entertainment industry social service agencies. This summer, grants will be awarded to social service organizations whose work includes direct services, emergency financial assistance, harm reduction programs and quality of life services.
In 2023, Broadway Cares provided $9.1 million through its national grants program across all three grant rounds.
O’Neal is currently on the road stage managing the California tour of A Strange Loop after completing a year-long stint as assistant stage manager at the Tony Award-winning hit Hadestown. At the food grants committee table, he shared his wonder at the breadth and reach of these food grants. He wasn’t fully aware of the extensive impact he was making in the very communities he was working in while on tour with Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations
“It was really nice to see that the communities that we are raising money with are also the very same communities that are receiving the support and assistance,” O’Neal said. “It felt great to be able to see exactly the impact all of our work as a theatrical community has on those around the country that need the additional support and assistance.”
Aliveness Project in Minneapolis
In June 2022, the Ain’t Too Proud tour performed at Minneapolis’ storied Orpheum Theatre. Just three miles away, the Aliveness Project, an organization that supports people living with and at the greatest risk of HIV, serves healthy, warm meals through its congregate meal program. Congregate programs allow clients to enjoy a meal with each other, removing the solitude and stigma that can accompany an HIV diagnosis.
“Just knowing that I can rely on the Aliveness kitchen when I need it for meals is a big stress reliever for me,” said Dan, a client of the Aliveness Project.
Resource Center of Dallas
Later that summer, Ain’t Too Proud performed at Dallas’ Music Hall. The Resource Center of Dallas has been providing myriad services to the LGBTQ+ and HIV/AIDS communities in Dallas-Fort Worth for four decades. Those services include its food pantry and hot meals program, which is planned specifically to address the caloric needs of individuals impacted by HIV/AIDS.
“The food pantry is an excellent resource,” said Helen, a client of Resource Center of Dallas. “I love that I can pick what I want to eat, and eat what I need for my survival and health. The Resource Center saved my life, because when I was lost and didn’t know where to turn, they were here for me.”
Jewish Family Service of Colorado in Denver
Toward the end of O’Neil’s time on tour, the company had a two-week run at Colorado’s Denver Center. Jewish Family Service of Colorado is doing critical work in improving the lives of Denver residents through a full suite of services, including disability care, employment training and mental health counseling. Also among those offerings is the Weinberg Food Pantry, which assists individuals and families facing hunger and food insecurity.
“JFS is like building a foundation on a house — my foundation for a new life,” said David, a client of Jewish Family Service of Colorado.

Colleen Dewhurst Legacy Society
The Colleen Dewhurst Legacy Society is the planned giving program of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, honoring those who have included Broadway Cares in their estate plan or will.
The society is named for the late Colleen Dewhurst, the Tony Award-winning actor and past president of Actors’ Equity Association. She pioneered the formation of the Equity Fights AIDS Committee, which merged with Broadway Cares in 1992 to become the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS of today.
Joining the Colleen Dewhurst Legacy Society ensures that the values that mean so much to you will extend far into the future. Please contact Nick Mayo, major gifts and planned giving officer, at mayo@broadwaycares.org for information on how to include Broadway Cares in your estate plan or will.
