To Tom Viola on his pending retirement!
Out of a devastating crisis, you responded by creating an organization that pulled us together as a community and would grow to become an agent of good for so many.
What an impact you’ve had on the world! Wishing our friend all the best on the journey ahead!

Names in bold indicate Premier Visionaries and Archangels, donors who increased their gift by 25 percent or more over the previous year.

Visionaries and Angels provide essential support for those affected by HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening illnesses across the country. We salute these donors for their compassion and commitment to helping others in need.
In appreciation of this generous support, Visionaries and Angels receive exclusive invitations to virtual and in-person events and VIP status at some of Broadway Cares’ most high-profile events, as well as a host of other benefits.
There are many ways to become a member of the Visionary Circle or Angels Circle, including charging on a monthly or quarterly basis. If your employer matches charitable contributions, a gift of $500 or more can qualify you for membership.
