Since October, 1987, BC/EFA has raised and distributed over $5,200,000 in the fight against AIDS, as well as helping to raise tens of millions more through the mobilization of the theatrical expertise of the entertainment industry. These funds have been distributed in response to over 2,900 requests for personal financial assistance from PWA's in the industry and as grants to more than 300 AIDS service organizations. All money goes directly to providing assistance and desperately needed services to people with AIDS in New York City and across the United States. BROADWAY CARES/EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS is committed to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to provide comfort and assistance to our friends, co-workers and loved ones in all aspects of "the business" who are living with AIDS and to do all within our power to promote a rational response across America to an epidemic that affects us all.
