A History of Giving Equity Fights AIDS was founded in October 1987 by the Council of Actors’ Equity Association. Money raised through the efforts of Equity theatre companies across the country was specifically earmarked for The Actors Fund’s AIDS Initiative. Broadway Cares was founded in February 1988 by members of The Producers’ Group. Money raised was earmarked to be awarded to AIDS service organizations nationwide, including Equity Fights AIDS. In May 1992, Equity Fights AIDS and Broadway Cares merged to become Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. The Board of Trustees of this newly established not-forprofit fundraising organization assumed the missions of the previously separate organizations and continues to fund the social service work of The Actors Fund and award grants three times a year to HIV/AIDS service organizations nationwide. Unlike most other nonprofit, grant-making organizations, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS must raise every single dollar of our philanthropic budget every year in order to fulfill our mission. In turn, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS works hard to ensure that the money we raise is spent carefully and wisely on programs where these hard-earned funds can have the maximum possible impact.

December 2017 Dear Friends, Everyone needs a place to recharge and relax. If we are fortunate, there is a quiet room behind a closed apartment door, a leafy corner of a familiar park, a rooftop somewhere that feels closer to the clouds above than the cement below, or even some place out of town that allows us to momentarily step away from the tourist-driven energy of Times Square. In those rare quiet moments we are indeed fortunate to step beyond the shouting voices, political vitriol and lies that flood the airwaves and our social media feeds, day after day. We can restore ourselves, confident that, when reconnected with the hustle, our most basic needs still will be met and the well-being of those we love, live and work with ensured. Many standing right next to us are not nearly as fortunate. Some are denied access to resources that keep families together and individuals secure in their homes. Others suddenly fall between the cracks of a deliberately diminished network of health care and social services that, for years, made it possible for hard times to be endured or short-term challenges met. We’ve seen individuals, families and entire communities branded as “other,” their well-being diminished by a dark, exclusive few hellbent on making sure they have more by insisting many others make do with less. Yet we have been rendered neither hopeless nor helpless. We have not been silent. We have taken action in the best ways we know how. Our community’s dedication and commitment to others - and each other – is reflected in the totals amassed in our fundraising this year and in the recordbreaking grant-making it has made possible. Your efforts have made a difference to those too often disparaged or now denied the hand that has, at one time or another in times of difficulty or trouble, lifted many of us up. This year, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS awarded $5.5 million to The Actors Fund. Our unique partnership grew from the singular support of the HIV/AIDS Initiative 29 years ago into today’s indispensable safety net of services, helping thousands in crisis, need or transition. This support is in addition to $6.7 million sent to 461 AIDS and family service organizations in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, DC, reaching out to hundreds of thousands in need from all variety of debilitating illnesses and crises. Late this summer, the number of Americans struggling to make ends meet swelled due to the devastating hurricanes that hit Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. Thanks to you, Broadway Cares awarded $575,000 in emergency grants to provide immediate, on-the-ground assistance to those battling the ravages of hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. We are not ones to ever rest on our laurels. The great work that we have done together in the nearly three decades of this organization’s history is the foundation for what’s still to come. We pledge to channel your compassion and generosity of spirit to those who might be lost without it. We stand with you always to work together to make a difference, to be a light in times of trouble and days of darkness. Sincerely,
Tom Viola Executive Director
A Bit of Gypsy of the Year History The first Gypsy of the Year Competition was held at the St. James Theatre on November 28, 1989. Hosted by Jonathan Hadary, Tyne Daly and the company of Gypsy, this fledgling event – produced by Maria Di Dia and Tom Viola and directed by Michael Lichtefeld – raised more than $64,000 and featured gypsies from the companies of A Chorus Line, Black & Blue, Cats, Grand Hotel, Gypsy, Jerome Robbins’ Broadway, Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Sweeney Todd, The Heidi Chronicles, Three Penny Opera and Vampire Lesbians of Sodom/The Lady in Question. In the following years – with your help – Gypsy of the Year grew.

NATIONAL GRANTS Organizations Offer Support to People Without Access to Resources During these troubling times when access to health care continues to be threatened, individuals with HIV, AIDS and other life-threatening illnesses increasingly are turning to social service organizations for vital assistance. When those in need live in remote areas, accessing these crucial resources becomes even more difficult. In rural Alabama, stigmatization and a lack of HIV education creates isolation for HIV-positive residents. “It’s one of those things people don’t want to talk about,” said Lanita Kharel, executive director of AIDS Alabama South. “They simply don’t want to discuss the disease, especially in our conservative communities. There’s a lot of denial about HIV.” AIDS Alabama South is one of the 461 organizations receiving grants from Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS in 2017. Broadway Cares awarded a record $6,749,522 to social service organizations in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, DC. The stigma and marginalization seen by Kharel are not unique to the south. Limited access to lifesaving medicine and necessities are common challenges from Alabama to Alaska. For Kaylee and her son, Dawson, who live in rural Alaska, obtaining anything from medication to everyday items is a challenge. “It’s not just the HIV medicine,” Kaylee explained. “It’s getting transportation to cities for checkups and routine surgeries. It’s having food on the table for my son. When you live far from everything, it gets so much harder.” Recognizing the unique challenges of Kaylee and others living in isolated regions, Alaskan AIDS Assistance Association in Anchorage assists clients across 91 percent of a state that’s twice as large as Texas. The association offers a telephone hotline, financial assistance, vital supplies for local organizations and paying for medical visits to Anchorage or Juneau. “After helping me get to Anchorage for a routine medical procedure, my son and I returned home to find a backpack full of school supplies and four boxes of healthy food for while I recovered,” Kaylee said. Thanks to organizations fueled by Broadway Cares’ grants, individuals like Kaylee and hundreds of thousands of others like her, are able to receive the basic care they deserve. “I’m not sure where I’d be today without that assistance,” Kaylee said. “I am so thankful people care enough to help me.”

BUCKET BRIGADE VOLUNTEERS An army of 165 tireless volunteers and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS staffers enhanced the Gypsy of the Year fundraising efforts this season.

Over the course of six weeks of audience appeals, volunteers filled 3,393 shifts at 936 appeals. Our sincere thanks to these unsung heroes: Broadway Cares’ famous bucket brigade.

INTERNATIONAL
GRANTS Sharing Broadway’s Generosity Around the World
Since 1996, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS has awarded more than $6 million in special grants to HIV/AIDS service organizations outside the United States. The grants are in appreciation of fundraising done by those Broadway companies with a distinct international affiliation. The first of these donations was a $5,000 grant given to West End Cares in London in honor of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream after the company participated in the 1996 Easter Bonnet Competition. Since then, grants have been made in honor of dozens of actors and productions from around the world who have generously given of their time and talent. Recipients have included TheatreMAD in London, The AFC (formerly The Actors’ Fund of Canada) and The Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research. An important piece of Broadway Cares’ international grants is South Africa. The incidence of HIV/AIDS in South Africa remains among the highest in the world. It’s a reality that continues to hit close to the heart for many in the cast of Disney’s acclaimed production of The Lion King. As natives of South Africa, they’ve seen the epidemic’s toll first-hand in their hometowns and villages. Inspired by The Lion King’s enthusiastic fundraising, more than $4.4 million has been awarded in grants to South Africa HIV/AIDS organizations since The Lion King opened on Broadway. The grants have been sent to 66 AIDS service providers in honor of and identified by the South African actors in the Broadway and national touring companies of The Lion King.
