the bc/efa<br />
grantmaking history<br />
1987-<strong>2005</strong><br />
equity fights aids was founded in october 1987 by the council of actors’ equity<br />
Association. Money raised through the efforts of <strong>Equity</strong> theatre companies across the country was specifically earmarked for The<br />
Actors’ Fund <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative. BROADWAY CARES was founded in February 1988 by members of The Producers’ Group. Money<br />
raised was earmarked to be awarded to <strong>AIDS</strong> service organizations across the country, including <strong>Equity</strong> <strong>Fights</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong>.<br />
In May 1992, BROADWAY CARES and EQUITY FIGHTS <strong>AIDS</strong> merged to become BROADWAY CARES/EQUITY FIGHTS<br />
<strong>AIDS</strong>. The Board of Trustees of this newly established not-for-profit fundraising organization assumed the missions of the<br />
previously separate organizations and continues to fund the social service work of The Actors’ Fund and to award grants twice a year<br />
to <strong>AIDS</strong> and family service organizations nationwide.<br />
Unlike most other nonprofit grantmaking organizations, <strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong>/<strong>Equity</strong> <strong>Fights</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong> must raise every single dollar of<br />
our philanthropic budget each year in order to fulfill our grantmaking mission. In turn, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> works hard to ensure that the<br />
money raised is spent carefully and wisely on programs both at The Actors’ Fund and at hundreds of social service agencies across<br />
the country where these hard-earned dollars can have maximum impact.<br />
<strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s grantmaking has two areas of emphasis. The first is The Actors’ Fund of America. <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> currently supports<br />
six major programs at The Fund, each of which provides social services, case management and emergency financial assistance to<br />
entertainment industry professionals and performing artists who are in crisis or dealing with a variety of problems, including HIV/<br />
<strong>AIDS</strong>. The second major grantmaking effort is the National Grants Program, through which <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> makes grants to hundreds<br />
of community-based <strong>AIDS</strong> and family service organizations across the country. A detailed description of how we distribute funds<br />
and the programs we support is contained in the following pages.<br />

how a dollar<br />
makes a<br />
difference<br />
the fundraising and grantmaking success of broadway cares/equity fights <strong>AIDS</strong><br />
is the result of tens of thousands of gestures of generosity that come together as one phenomenal show of support.<br />
This is never more apparent – or more important – than in the audience appeals done each year for two six-week periods by<br />
the <strong>Broadway</strong>, Off-<strong>Broadway</strong> and national touring shows prior to the annual GYPSY OF THE YEAR and EASTER BONNET<br />
Competitions. Here is how a single dollar becomes what in <strong>2005</strong> was a $5.5 million fundraising campaign.<br />
A theatergoer is moved by the curtain speech made by a member of the cast after the curtain call. In support of <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong><br />
or simply because it was such a thrill to hear the show’s star informally talk to the audience about our work, he or she puts ONE<br />
DOLLAR into the collection buckets manned by other members of the company and <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> volunteers. In an average <strong>Broadway</strong><br />
house of 1,700, this means the following:<br />
one generous gesture $ 1<br />
the amount raised at one performance $ 1,700<br />
there are 8 performances a week (x 8) $ 13,600<br />
34 other shows are making the same appeal (x 34) $ 462,400<br />
appeals are made for six weeks (x 6) $ 2,774,400<br />
twice a year (x 2) $ 5,548,000<br />
<strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> is extremely grateful to all who have joined the theatre owners – producers, directors, general managers, company<br />
managers, house managers, and all – who have offered their support for “the six-week option plan,” which has been an essential<br />
component of <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s success for more than a decade.<br />
Audience appeals are the backbone of <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s yearly fundraising efforts. Without the thousands of times one person reaches<br />
into pocket or purse and drops $1, $5, $10 or $20 in a volunteer’s bucket, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> could not exist.<br />

July 2006<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
It’s been 18 years since a committee of actors and a group of producers got together separately, just months apart from<br />
each other, and founded two very small, grassroots <strong>AIDS</strong> fundraising organizations: <strong>Equity</strong> <strong>Fights</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong>, a committee of Actors’<br />
<strong>Equity</strong>, and <strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong>, its own 501(c)(3) not-for-profit. It was 1988 and the <strong>Broadway</strong> community wanted desperately to do<br />
something – indeed, anything – to reach out to their friends and loved ones facing the unprecedented medical and devastating<br />
social challenges of <strong>AIDS</strong>. Times were grim, services scarce and resources few.<br />
In 1992, these two organizations came together as BROADWAY CARES / EQUITY FIGHTS <strong>AIDS</strong>.<br />
We started small: figured out how to do a bake sale; discovered that a show poster signed by the cast quadrupled in value;<br />
presented cabaret shows for an audience of 100 paying $10 a ticket; danced on a bar for tips and created, with the generous<br />
permission of the three theatre owners – The Shubert Organization, Nederlander Productions and Jujamcyn Theaters<br />
– and leading producers, an extraordinary and unique equation of competition and fundraising: Audience appeals that are<br />
unequalled to this day. Along the way, we met and joined forces with Dancers Responding to <strong>AIDS</strong> and Classical Action, taking<br />
their efforts under our administrative umbrella and sharing resources to maximize fundraising.<br />
In 1996, The Actors’ Fund created The Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative as it had The <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative more<br />
than eight years earlier. <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> provided the program’s first $10,000 grant to fund this important work addressing serious<br />
health issues affecting women in our industry. In the coming years, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s support helped other programs of The Actors’ Fund,<br />
including two supportive housing programs for people with <strong>AIDS</strong> and seniors and, as recently as 2003, The Al Hirschfeld Free<br />
Health Clinic.<br />
These efforts – like the Bible’s “mustard seed,” or Ben Franklin’s “tiniest acorn” – grew 50, 100 times over, as we repeated<br />
and re-invented them with an ever-changing cast on-stage, backstage, front-of-house and behind the scenes. With our success<br />
it seemed fair, indeed imperative, for <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> to share what had been so generously provided to us and our root cause, year<br />
after year.<br />
It may seem ironic, but doing more ensures that our fundraising specifically for <strong>AIDS</strong> continues to grow. And the numbers prove the<br />
point: In 1996, we raised $6,111,860; in <strong>2005</strong> … $14,345,00. Since 1988, over $117 million has been raised thanks to men<br />
and women from the American theatre community who have joined forces with us – responding to the <strong>AIDS</strong> epidemic with a<br />
huge heart; some with broad, sweeping gestures, others with thousands of individual acts of kindness and generosity.<br />

a letter from the president and executive director
oadway cares/equity fights aids<br />
A few words about <strong>AIDS</strong>, specifically in <strong>2005</strong> – 2006:<br />
<strong>AIDS</strong> is not over. People still die, some unable to take the medications, many others uninsured and unable to afford<br />
them, and too many more rejected by their communities. The challenges of <strong>AIDS</strong> have changed since 1988, but the toll of this<br />
disease has been enormous: More than half a million lives lost here in the U.S.; more than one million American men,<br />
women and children living with HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong> today; and, an infection rate of 40,000 a year that has remained steady in the<br />
U.S. for over a decade.<br />
This last statement is perhaps difficult to understand. How can this be? Prevention and education efforts have existed for<br />
years; the message is smarter, more frank and thankfully in many communities causes less contention than it did 10 or more<br />
years ago.<br />
But, human nature has not changed. Perfect intentions exist in an imperfect world. Young folks will always feel immortal;<br />
the worst of politics and the self-righteous reinforce a deadly denial. Women suffer the unearned consequences of a partner’s<br />
secret or ignorance. Even with so much information at hand, people do careless things when drunk and high, sad or falling in<br />
love, angry or on a dare – mistakes they come to regret as they recover from the very issues or deep emotional scars that allowed<br />
them to put themselves in danger in the first place.<br />
There is no longer “one face of <strong>AIDS</strong>.” Today “the faces of <strong>AIDS</strong>” represent all of us – gay or straight, young or old – all<br />
living with a virus, not punishment for some kind of moral failing for which they deserve neither assistance nor services.<br />
<strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong>/<strong>Equity</strong> <strong>Fights</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong> has extended its reach and will continue to do so – but always with our arms wrapped around those for whom we first<br />
came together – men, women and children living with HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong>.<br />
In 2004, Funders Concerned About <strong>AIDS</strong> (www.fcaaids.org) ranked <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> as the second largest domestic <strong>AIDS</strong> funder in the country<br />
and #11 of 68 grantmakers in the US reporting HIV-related domestic and international commitments of $300,000 or more annually.<br />
In this day when billions of dollars mark the national deficit and funding for social services is being cut, private funding<br />
has never mattered more. We thank you for the continued generosity and compassion that makes it all possible.<br />
18 years. It’s been one hell of a bake sale. We hope you will be proud of what we accomplished together in just <strong>2005</strong> alone.<br />
With deep appreciation,<br />

THE ACTORS’ FUND<br />
of AMERICA<br />
founded in 1882, the actors’ fund of america provides for the welfare of all who<br />
earn their living through employment in the entertainment industry. The stage manager, dancer or theatrical press agent with<br />
<strong>AIDS</strong> and no health insurance, the actor looking to make a transition into a second career, the retired costume designer having<br />
difficulty living on social security and unclear about his Medicaid benefits, the stage carpenter, company manager or actress<br />
facing a crisis around an issue of addiction, the musician in need of supportive housing – all are part of the entertainment<br />
industry and all can find assistance through The Actors’ Fund.<br />
The Actors’ Fund continues the industry tradition of “taking care of its own,” forged more than a century ago when attitudes<br />
of prejudice against people in show business prevailed. The Actors’ Fund served as a catalyst for reducing that discrimination and<br />
integrating theatre professionals into the social, political, and economic facets of their communities.<br />
<strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s funding relationship with The Actors’ Fund began in 1988 with The <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative. In 1996, it expanded to<br />
include The Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative, as well as support for the fund’s two supportive housing residences, The<br />
Aurora in New York City and The Palm View in Los Angeles.<br />
Since then <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s support has grown to include The Actors’ Work Program in both NYC and LA, the Al Hirschfeld Free<br />
Health Clinic at The Aurora, and a continually growing number of smaller programs that have a powerful impact on all members<br />
of our entertainment industry.<br />
Through its partnership with The Actors’ Fund, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> touches the lives of thousands of entertainment professionals<br />
living with HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong>, as well as those coping with a wide variety of other health issues and life challenges.<br />
The <strong>AIDS</strong> INITIATIVE<br />
For nearly 20 years, The <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative of The Actors’ Fund has been helping members of the entertainment industry living<br />
with HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong> cope with the extraordinary challenges of healthcare, insurance coverage for medications and housing, as well as<br />
the occasional financial and emotional crises brought on by the disease on both a short- and long-term basis.<br />
The collaboration between <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> and The Actors’ Fund’s <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative is a model for how an industry can respond<br />
with effectiveness and compassion to the <strong>AIDS</strong> crisis. The <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative provides a full spectrum of essential support services,<br />
including emergency financial assistance (for basic necessities such as rent, food, health insurance, and non-reimbursable<br />
medical expenses), case management referrals to other sources of community and public assistance, benefits advocacy, vocational<br />
retraining, counseling, and support groups for people with HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong> and their partners, families, and caregivers.<br />
In <strong>2005</strong>, The <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative assisted 547 individuals – 520 men and 27 women – with client services and emergency<br />
the actors’ fund of america
oadway cares/equity fights aids<br />
financial assistance. Of these, 63 were new clients as of <strong>2005</strong>.<br />
From the $3.4 million awarded to The Actors’ Fund by <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> in <strong>2005</strong>, $1,108,000 was distributed as direct financial<br />
assistance to 275 of those clients living with HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong> in 20 states through Actors’ Fund offices in New York, Chicago, and Los<br />
Angeles. Of this, $452,120 (41%) went to health insurance payments, and $380,106 (34%) for rent. In addition to underwriting<br />
direct financial assistance, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s total <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative grant of $2,100,000 supports personnel, administrative costs, volunteer<br />
needs and other expenses associated with client case management.<br />
Changes in the <strong>AIDS</strong> environment have had a significant impact on clients. The effectiveness of protease inhibitors, available<br />
since 1996, has had major service implications as The <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative shifts from helping people with a fatal disease to assisting<br />
those with a chronic, manageable one.<br />
In the past, The <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative often helped clients prepare for a more dependent level of living. Now, advances in treatment<br />
have allowed staff to prepare clients for their independence by helping them to build skills and learn more about the supportive<br />
network that can help them remain highly functioning individuals.<br />
However, this change in life expectancy has had a profound effect on the number of clients served by The <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative.<br />
Between 1994 and 2004, The Actors’ Fund’s <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative has experienced a dramatic decrease in the number of <strong>AIDS</strong>-related<br />
deaths, from almost 50% of its clients in 1994 to just 5% in <strong>2005</strong>. While that is encouraging news, the battle is far from over.<br />
During this same time, the number of <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative clients has more than doubled from 216 in 1994 to 552 in <strong>2005</strong>, including<br />
many new clients each year.<br />

“At a time of desperate circumstances, the services funded by<br />
<strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> at The <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative made it possible for me to see my<br />
way clear. I walked into The Actors’ Funds’ offices filled with<br />
trepidation, and left with hope and a new resolve.<br />
“I have been a professional actor/singer for over 20 years and<br />
for the first time could not see my way clear. I’ve done fund<br />
raising for <strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong>/<strong>Equity</strong> <strong>Fights</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong> over the years...<br />
never dreaming that I would be in such need. My diagnosis of<br />
HIV has, till now, been manageable on my own. But it is now a<br />
different time in my life and in ‘the business.’<br />
“Your help has taken many forms; including emergency<br />
financial assistance and, most importantly, the possibility of<br />
continued health insurance.<br />
I thank you with all my heart. I am most grateful for the<br />
spirit in which help is given and that the circumstances I found<br />
so overwhelming were, with your help, manageable.”<br />

PHYLLIS NEWMAN WOMEN’S HEALTH INITIATIVE<br />
The Actors’ Fund established the Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative (PNWHI) in 1996 to provide a safety net for women<br />
in the entertainment industry coping with critical health concerns. The Women’s Health Initiative dedicates a range of resources<br />
solely to addressing the health needs and concerns specific to women, providing direct services and financial assistance to many<br />
women who are often without health insurance. In <strong>2005</strong>, the Initiative helped 356 clients confront breast, cervical and ovarian<br />
cancers, domestic violence, chemical dependency, mental health issues, and other critical conditions.<br />
The comprehensive nature of the Women’s Health Initiative’s case management approach encompasses employment,<br />
economic, and other factors that impact each client’s ability to fight for her health with maximum success. Case workers are<br />
effective at helping women deal with difficulties triggered by medical conditions and the subsequent challenges around financial,<br />
psychological and family issues, staying involved with clients on an ongoing basis and providing the support and referrals they<br />
need to best cope with these pressing issues. Counselors offer vital assistance in treatment and recovery, applying for benefits,<br />
filing insurance claims, coordinating childcare, and devising financial plans.<br />
Support groups offered by PNWHI provide a place where women can come together to offer and receive support around<br />
issues ranging from managing chronic physical and mental health conditions to aging in the industry, and anti-violence and<br />
family issues. The Women’s HIV Outreach and Education Program offers comprehensive services for women in the entertainment<br />
industry concerned about safer sex, HIV, or other sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, the Women’s Health Initiative<br />
provides an extensive resource library, and access to a vast network of women’s health care providers, research studies, and other<br />
resources.<br />
In <strong>2005</strong>, PNWHI clients received social services ranging from case management, individual counseling, and assistance<br />
in applying for benefits and coordinating child care, and were provided with $219,000 in essential financial assistance. Two<br />
hundred twenty-seven mammograms and 104 gynecological exams were provided at no charge to women in “the business”<br />
without adequate health insurance at The Actors’ Fund’s Hirschfeld Free Clinic at The Aurora on West 57th Street and Tenth<br />
Avenue. <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> provided $450,000 to support the Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative in fiscal year <strong>2005</strong> – up from<br />
$210,500 in 2004.<br />
“I am extremely grateful for your generous financial assistance<br />
with my hospital bill. Thank you for meeting with me and helping<br />
me manage my situation. When I am once again able to rub more<br />
than two pennies together, you will hear from me as a donor, so<br />
that other women in crisis can experience the same assistance<br />
that I have.”<br />
“Thank you so much for all your help & support – but especially<br />
what I can only call intelligent listening. I feel much more<br />
positive about the future after meeting with you and knowing<br />
the support of The Women’s Health Initiative is there.”<br />

THE AL HIRSCHFELD FREE HEALTH CLINIC<br />
As happened in 1987, when The Actors’ Fund created The <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative in concert with the establishment of funding support<br />
from <strong>Equity</strong> Fight <strong>AIDS</strong>, in 2003 The Actors’ Fund established The Al Hirschfeld Free Health Clinic with an initial grant of<br />
$300,000 from <strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong>/<strong>Equity</strong> <strong>Fights</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong>.<br />
Dedicated to the memory of the famed <strong>Broadway</strong> caricaturist who died in January 2002 just short of his 100th birthday,<br />
The Al Hirschfeld Free Health Clinic was initially located in three small offices on the 2nd floor of The Aurora, adjacent to The<br />
Colleen Dewhurst Community Rooms.<br />
In 2004, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> provided an outright grant of $325,000 to The Actors’ Fund for the operation of The Hirschfeld Clinic.<br />
In June 2004, an additional one-time grant of $300,000 was made to The Fund to pay for the clinic’s renovation and move to<br />
the 4th floor of The Aurora Residence where it now occupies a suite of offices and examination rooms taking up half the entire<br />
floor. This enables Dr. Jim Spears and his staff to serve double the number of clients who otherwise would lack access to adequate<br />
medical care.<br />
The Hirschfeld Clinic was launched to address the very clear, immediate need of members of the entertainment community<br />
who are uninsured or underinsured. People who work in the entertainment industry are often uninsured. They work in uncertain<br />
careers and may not make medical care a priority, ignoring symptoms, concealing diagnoses, and putting off treatment.<br />
With the contributed services of a corps of physician volunteers under the full-time direction of Dr. Spears and working in<br />
collaboration with Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, The Hirschfeld Clinic provides necessary medical<br />
services and works to prevent illness and emergency room visits that result from neglecting health care.<br />
The Clinic provides primary and specialty care, health screenings, and patient education. Lab testing provided through the<br />
Clinic is free to uninsured patients. The Clinic is open five days a week and has a physician on-call even when closed. Primary<br />
care includes routine preventive medical care, ongoing management of medical problems, and urgent sick visits. Specialty care<br />
is provided following an evaluation by a primary care doctor. Then a referral is made to a specialist – whenever possible, to a<br />
volunteer specialist at the Clinic. Preventative care includes flu vaccinations, mammograms, prostate exams, breast examinations,<br />
tuberculosis and diabetes screening, blood pressure and cholesterol testing, and vision screening.<br />
At a series of annual health fairs offered in partnership with New York Presbyterian Hospital and Better Wellness and You<br />
(BWAY), the clinic provides a broader scope of diagnostic screenings, including measurements of blood pressure, cholesterol<br />
levels and blood glucose, as well as mammograms for hundreds of health fair participants.<br />
The Hirschfeld Clinic physicians are sensitive to these health issues and aware of the warning signs of neglect, malnutrition,<br />
substance abuse, and mental health concerns. If needed, eligible patients are also referred to The Actors’ Fund social service<br />
programs, through which they may receive individual counseling, referrals, and financial assistance toward living expenses. Many<br />
individuals who receive social services and case management at The Actors’ Fund first made contact with the organization at an<br />
initial visit to The Hirschfeld Clinic.<br />
<strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> considers its support for The Al Hirschfeld Free Health Clinic to be an important new priority in the catalogue of<br />
services funded at The Actors Fund, and in <strong>2005</strong> provided $500,000 in financial support for its ongoing operation, enabling<br />
doctors at the clinic to see 1,145 patients and provide a total of 1,943 client visits in such areas as dermatology, family and general<br />
medicine, infectious diseases, and internal medicine.<br />
“You have no idea how much it means to have a place to go<br />
when you are too rich for Medicaid and too poor for real<br />
health insurance!”<br />

THE ACTORS’ WORK PROGRAM<br />
As <strong>AIDS</strong> Initiative clients with longer life expectancies were shifting their focus from dealing with an immediate critical illness<br />
to managing a chronic condition, their needs evolved to include back-to-work issues. With this in mind, the <strong>AIDS</strong> Training<br />
and Education Project (ATEP) of The Actors’ Work Program (AWP) was created by The Actors’ Fund in 1998 to help <strong>AIDS</strong><br />
Initiative clients return to work or participate in meaningful activities outside the home. Counselors help clients responding<br />
well to protease/anti-viral regimens deal with the important implications of suddenly increased life expectancies, including the<br />
challenges of returning to the workplace, although not necessarily in the entertainment industry.<br />
Many people with <strong>AIDS</strong> considering a return to the workplace in a non-performing capacity lack the resources necessary<br />
to make such a career change. They must also consider the impact such a decision will have on issues such as health insurance<br />
and entitlements, as well as the limitations imposed by side effects of their medications. ATEP counselors work with clients to<br />
access their health status, interests, and skills; to design individualized action plans; and to identify educational, volunteer, and<br />
employment opportunities. Counseling, tuition assistance, and referrals to community resources help ATEP clients achieve these<br />
goals. <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> supported the Actors’ Work Program’s <strong>AIDS</strong> Training and Employment Project with $185,000 in support.<br />
AFFORDABLE HOUSING INITIATIVES<br />
Recognizing that an affordable, safe, and supportive place to live is the foundation of every person with <strong>AIDS</strong>’s ability to<br />
fight for and maintain his or her health, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> has been a long-time supporter of The Actors’ Fund’s affordable housing<br />
initiatives. From 1997 to 2001, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> provided $750,000 of support to The Aurora Residence in New York City, a 30-story<br />
apartment building providing 178 units of supportive housing for people with HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong>, seniors, and low-income working<br />
professionals.<br />
From 1998-2002, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> provided $250,000 of support to The Palm View Residence in Los Angeles, a 40-unit garden<br />
apartment complex with an on-site resident services coordinator providing low-cost supportive housing to people with <strong>AIDS</strong>.<br />
The Palm View is a collaborative project between The Actors’ Fund, the West Hollywood Housing Corporation, Housing for<br />
Entertainment Professionals, and funders like <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>.<br />
PHYSICIAN VOLUNTEERS FOR THE ARTS<br />
Although Physician Volunteers for the Arts has not been a part of the services provided by The Actors’ Fund since 2002, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong><br />
continues to provide financial assistance for its programs with the <strong>Broadway</strong> theatre community.<br />
In <strong>2005</strong>, a $20,000 grant from <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> helped Dr. Barry Kohn and PVA provide over 2,500 flu shots backstage at <strong>Broadway</strong><br />
shows, in the offices of theatre-related organizations, and to seniors and other Actors’ <strong>Equity</strong> members with compromised health<br />
issues.<br />
In collaboration with Actor’s <strong>Equity</strong>, Dr. Kohn made flu shots available on three open-house days at the <strong>Equity</strong> Building on<br />
West 46th St. This effort was coordinated by <strong>Equity</strong> Third Vice President (and <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> board member) Ira Mont, and financially<br />
supported by <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> along with an organization called Better Wellness and You (BWAY).<br />
PVA inoculates both the insured and uninsured, as well as spreading awareness about the dangers of influenza throughout<br />
the theatrical community. A retired physician who donates his time to the theatrical community, Dr. Kohn emphasizes that in<br />
workplace situations like those found in a <strong>Broadway</strong> or Off-<strong>Broadway</strong> show, yearly vaccinations are critical because often a few<br />
cases of the flu can spread quickly, endangering the cast and crew of an entire production.<br />

national Grants<br />
program<br />
active since 1987, bc/efa’s national grants program has become one of the largest<br />
of its kind in the United States. A report published by Funders Concerned About <strong>AIDS</strong> showed that <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> ranked sixth in the<br />
nation in terms of grant dollars disbursed for HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong>, just behind The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and The Ford<br />
Foundation, and ahead of such longstanding philanthropic powerhouses as the Rockefeller Foundation, The New York Community<br />
Trust, and the California Endowment, among others. This achievement is a result of the rapid growth in our fundraising, and as<br />
a result, in our grantmaking, over the past several years.<br />
From the outset, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s grants program has been fast, simple, and efficient. A concise two-page application allows us to<br />
make disbursements twice a year to hundreds of community-based organizations, an unusual feature among top <strong>AIDS</strong> grantmakers,<br />
and one that we have learned over the years is meaningful to relatively small organizations. The vast majority of these grassroots<br />
organizations operate on bare-bones budgets, but still manage to have a significant impact in their communities.<br />
The National Grants Program for Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) at <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> attempts to address the ongoing<br />
and unmet needs of these <strong>AIDS</strong> and family service organizations. Because <strong>AIDS</strong> is not just a single disease, but a combination of<br />
epidemics exacerbated by discrimination and poverty, our grants in this category are geared to those organizations that are providing<br />
case management, food, housing, transportation, emergency financial assistance, emotional support, and non-reimbursable and<br />
emergency medical expenses.<br />
In <strong>2005</strong>, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s National Grants Committee awarded grants totaling $2,243,500 to over 486 <strong>AIDS</strong> and family service<br />
organizations in 47 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico. (See the list of agencies by city and state, beginning on page 13).<br />
Since a great portion of the money raised for <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> comes directly from theatre audiences across America, not just in New<br />
York, we are committed to assisting the full spectrum of communities affected by <strong>AIDS</strong>. By making grants to diverse organizations<br />
nationwide, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> is able to give back to those communities that help us support entertainment industry professionals through<br />
the services of The Actors’ Fund.<br />
From the time when it was founded in 1988 through <strong>2005</strong>, over $29 million has been distributed by <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> through its<br />
National Grants Programs.<br />
The <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> Grants Committee is comprised of individuals representing a diverse range of <strong>AIDS</strong> service providers and<br />
populations affected by <strong>AIDS</strong>, as well as members of the theatrical fundraising family.<br />

“Thank you so much for the recent $5,000 grant. Our clients<br />
often cope with HIV while living on the streets or in shelters.<br />
They battle mental illness, domestic violence and often have<br />
substance abuse histories. This is a very vulnerable population<br />
who turn to us when they have no other options or no place<br />
left to call home. Your support is greatly appreciated.”<br />

In 2002, a subset of the National Grants Program, called simply National Grants II, was created to allow <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> to<br />
support, at a higher level, organizations serving large metropolitan areas or doing advocacy work that impacts the entire network<br />
of <strong>AIDS</strong> service providers, many of which have received financial support through <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s longtime grants program for more<br />
than a decade.<br />
In <strong>2005</strong>, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> awarded an additional $465,500 to 27 nationally recognized <strong>AIDS</strong> service and advocacy organizations<br />
through National Grants II. (In 2004, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> provided $345,000 to 21 organizations in this grant round.)<br />

“Thank you for your generous $5,000 donation to Legacy.<br />
Your support means so much to us. My young son and his<br />
grandmother recently attended a performance of PETER PAN<br />
here in Dallas. MY mother said my son was transfixed and<br />
then delighted to meet cast members in the lobby after the<br />
show. I will let him know how the actors also helped make<br />
possible <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s wonderful kindness for our community.<br />
“Over the past six years we have expanded from 60 annual<br />
clients to over 750. The work we do wouldn’t be possible<br />
without the help of people like you all at <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> and in the<br />
theatre community who believe in humane and supportive<br />
help for people with <strong>AIDS</strong> and their families. Thank you.”<br />

HURRICANE<br />
KATRINA relief<br />
“In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, thousands of people<br />
have been left stranded, like refugees in third world<br />
countries. Only this time, it is right here in our own backyard.<br />
Given the HIV and the GLBT communities’ historical difficulties<br />
in receiving quality, affordable health care, this crisis means<br />
they are facing a particularly difficult road. Thanks to the<br />
support of friends such as <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>, we will be able to ensure<br />
that our community’s health care and medication assistance<br />
needs will be met, as well as that of the many evacuees we<br />
are seeing. Your $10,000 donation will enable the Clinic to<br />
open its doors to all these people regardless of their ability<br />
to pay.”<br />

<strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> Joins in Hurricane Relief<br />
On August 31, just two days after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> responded by sending<br />
a $100,000 check to The Red Cross’ “Disaster Relief Fund,” based in Washington, D.C., in the name of the entire theatre<br />
community.<br />
In the weeks following, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> reached out to 26 <strong>AIDS</strong> and family service organizations in Louisiana, Texas, Alabama,<br />
Mississippi and the Florida panhandle that have been a part of our ongoing National Grants Program. These organizations had<br />
seen their resources stretched to the limit in order to respond to the most basic needs of PWAs and their families evacuated from<br />
New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. It was determined to make emergency grants available specifically to these organizations, in<br />
some cases to help them reach out to clients directly affected by the disaster, as well as to respond to the thousands of evacuees being<br />
moved from New Orleans to towns and municipalities in upstate Louisiana and as far away as Texas.<br />
For weeks, all of the service providers in New Orleans regularly funded by <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> were unreachable. By the new year, New<br />
Orleans <strong>AIDS</strong> Task Force (the city’s largest service provider) was rebuilding and re-establishing contact with clients, as was Belle<br />
Reve Community Services.<br />
By spring, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> had provided $535,000 in emergency relief.<br />
american red cross $ 100,000<br />
grants to 25 aids and family service providers $ 380,000<br />

INTERNATIONAL<br />
GRANTS<br />
over the last few years, a number of broadway shows originating overseas or with<br />
foreign-born actors in their casts have participated generously in <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s six weeks of audience appeals prior to the Gypsy of the Year<br />
and Easter Bonnet competitions.<br />
In appreciation of their enthusiastic efforts, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> grants a portion of the funds raised by these companies to <strong>AIDS</strong> service<br />
organizations in their native countries. These foreign charities are chosen and introduced to <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> by the company members<br />
involved. Once their charitable status has been officially established by <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>, a grant in the name of the company is wired<br />
overseas.<br />
The first of these international grants was a $5,000 donation made by <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> to West End <strong>Cares</strong> (renamed Theatrecares<br />
in 2002), our sister theatre-based <strong>AIDS</strong> fundraising organization in London, in honor of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s<br />
production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream that participated in the 1996 Easter Bonnet Competition.<br />
Since then, many performers from <strong>Broadway</strong> companies originating in London have very generously participated in <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s<br />
fundraising efforts. These include: Sir Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren (The Dance of Death), Dame Judi Dench and Samantha Bond<br />
(Amy’s View), Petula Clark (the national tour of Sunset Boulevard), Sian Phillips (An Inspector Calls and Marlene), Alan Cumming and<br />
Natasha Richardson (Cabaret), Patrick Stewart (The Tempest), as well as the companies of Matthew Bourne’s Play Without Words and Swan<br />
Lake, Closer, Art, An Ideal Husband and many others. <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> has also granted funds in the name of producers Bill Kenwright and Sir<br />
Cameron Mackintosh for their committed and ongoing support.<br />
Grants have also been made to The Actors’ Fund of Canada in honor of the Canadian actors in the first national touring<br />
company of Mamma Mia!, Oz Showbiz <strong>Cares</strong> in honor of Baz Luhrmann’s <strong>Broadway</strong> production of La Bohemè and Hugh Jackman and<br />
the cast of <strong>Broadway</strong>’s The Boy from Oz, and Om Sakthi Narayani in honor of the cast of Bombay Dreams.<br />
The International Grants Program has expanded over the past eight years, most notably in grants made to South African <strong>AIDS</strong><br />
service organizations in appreciation for the efforts of the South African members of the <strong>Broadway</strong> and touring productions of The<br />
Lion King. Since 1998, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> has sent over $1.2 million to 34 South African <strong>AIDS</strong> service providers in honor of and identified<br />
by the South African actors in three companies of The Lion King.<br />

EVENTS<br />
thanks to the commitment of the celebrities and other members of the<br />
theatrical community who devote countless hours to our cause, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> not only raises desperately needed funds for the people<br />
who depend on our support, but does it in a way that’s fun and exciting for our supporters. The following pages present the<br />
highlights of a year of <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> fundraising events, from October 1, 2004, through September 30, <strong>2005</strong>.<br />
The Gypsy of the Year and Easter Bonnet Competitions are the mainstays of the <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> event roster and together raised $5,603,697<br />
during this period. Each event marks the culmination of an intensive six-week fundraising campaign on <strong>Broadway</strong>, Off-<strong>Broadway</strong>,<br />
and by the national touring shows.<br />
Four other events loom almost as large on our yearly calendar: The <strong>Broadway</strong> Flea Market and Grand Auction, Nothing Like a Dame, The<br />
<strong>Broadway</strong> Bears Auction, and <strong>Broadway</strong> Bares. The oldest of these is the <strong>Broadway</strong> Flea Market, which began as a table sale outside the stage door<br />
of A Chorus Line in Shubert Alley in the fall of 1986. In June <strong>2005</strong>, we hosted our 15th <strong>Broadway</strong> Bares, which began as seven dancers<br />
cavorting for cash on a bar in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood and has become one of the high-profile <strong>AIDS</strong> fundraisers. The<br />
<strong>Broadway</strong> Bears Auction may be the baby (or cub) of our major events, but it has grown steadily since 1998, thanks in large part to the<br />
enthusiasm of the theatrical wardrobe and costume design community.<br />
In addition, each year brings a variety of smaller fundraisers and larger one-time events. For <strong>2005</strong>, these included All My<br />
Children’s 35th Anniversary Celebration benefiting <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>, The <strong>Broadway</strong> Inspirational Voices’ Gospel Celebration and <strong>Broadway</strong> Barks. However,<br />
many special cabaret performances, dance presentations, club shows, concerts, and other events not mentioned on these pages also<br />
make up an important part of our annual fundraising calendar.<br />
We thank the thousands of dedicated entertainment professionals who help make <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s grantmaking efforts possible.<br />
Shoshana Bean capped a busy week of eight performances as Elphaba in <strong>Broadway</strong>’s smash hit Wicked by singing the opening number of <strong>Broadway</strong> Bares 15, “Doctor’s Orders”<br />
from the upcoming musical, Catch Me If You Can, music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman; the smooth, smooth dancing gentlemen of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels<br />

16th ANNUAL<br />
GYPSY OF THE YEAR<br />
COMPETITION<br />
December 6 & 7, 2004<br />
the 16th annual gypsy of the year competition raised $2,754,000 with 58 broadway,<br />
Off-<strong>Broadway</strong> and national touring shows giving their all during six intense weeks of fall fundraising. Sixteen of those shows<br />
presented original numbers – comic and serious – onstage at the Neil Simon Theatre, home of Hairspray.<br />
Hosted by Hairspray’s Bruce Vilanch, Tuesday’s sold-out show featured skits from 16 shows, with special appearances by Joan<br />
Rivers, Brooke Shields, Whoopi Goldberg, Seth Rudetsky of “Seth’s <strong>Broadway</strong> Chatterbox,” and an extended appearance by Dame<br />
Edna Everage (Barry Humphries).<br />
The afternoon’s opening number, “Ask A Gypsy,” written specifically for the event with original music by Lance Horne<br />
and lyrics by Horne, Lorin Latarro and Josh Rhodes, was directed and choreographed by Latarro and Rhodes with assistant<br />
choreographer Lee Wilkins and musical director Mary Mitchell Campbell. Led by Nancy Anderson and a chorus of 21 on-stage<br />
dancers and 10 backstage vocalists, “Ask A Gypsy” featured three well-known gypsies who have become stars in their own right,<br />
Nancy Lemenager, Brad Oscar and Mary Ann Lamb, each wearing one of the fabled “gypsy robes.”<br />
Show highlights included the cast of Bombay Dreams in a number entitled “Minorities Encouraged”; Beauty and the Beast’s Henry<br />
Hodges in “I’m a Cup”; the cast of Mamma Mia! in “Red State Ready”; and the “animals” in Fiddler on the Roof’s “The Circle L’Chaim.”<br />
Cast members past and present from 42nd Street joined in a grand finale of “The Lullaby of <strong>Broadway</strong>.”<br />
The top fundraising award went to Wicked, bringing in $362,918 from audience donations and onstage auctions, followed by<br />
Avenue Q ($154,208), Mamma Mia! ($154,032), The Phantom of the Opera ($151,124), The Lion King ($150,822) and Rent ($144,178). Twelve<br />
Angry Men was the top play, with $110,724; Menopause: The Musical was the top Off-<strong>Broadway</strong> show, raising $13,200; and the tour of<br />
Mamma Mia! earned touring show honors with $147,929.<br />
The “Gypsy of the Year Award” – determined by a panel of judges that included Cherry Jones, Tovah Feldshuh, Mario Cantone<br />
and Jai Rodriquez – went to the cast of The Lion King for their spirited dance presentation “Driven,” while the cast of Wicked received<br />
runner-up honors.<br />
The fundraising success of the Gypsy of the Year Competition would not be possible without the support of dozens of companies<br />
doing audience appeals, selling autographed posters, creating on-line auctions and more. Additional and heartfelt thanks to the<br />
hundreds of volunteers – actors and stage managers, wardrobe and hair personnel, ushers and front-of-house staff, technicians,<br />
stagehands and musicians, producers, company managers and concessionaires – whose generous efforts make this event possible.<br />
Nancy Anderson leads “The Gypsy of the Year Gypsies” in the show’s opening number, “Ask a Gypsy”; three of the lovely ladies from Menopause, The Musical –<br />
which won the ‘Off-<strong>Broadway</strong> Fundraising Award’ with a total of $13,200; three of the fabled “gypsy robes”; Ryan Lowe (Chicago’s high-note hitting Mary Sunshine)<br />
presented an outstanding performance of ‘Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again’ from The Phantom of the Opera – in the original key; from Avenue Q,<br />
Rick Lyon and “Nicky” perform “It’s Not Easy Being Green,” dedicated, of course, to Wicked’s own resident green witch, Idina Menzel.<br />

A History of Gypsy<br />
In the fall of 1989, the <strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong> “steering committee” met to discuss what new event might be jointly produced by <strong>Equity</strong><br />
<strong>Fights</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong> and <strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong> – then two separate organizations – that would capitalize on the shared success of the two groups’<br />
most recent collaboration, that year’s <strong>Broadway</strong> Flea Market. While those two groups were three years away from a formal merger, it was<br />
already clear that sharing revenue and resources was the future of <strong>AIDS</strong> fundraising in the theatre community.<br />
The group kept coming back to the success of the then three-year-old Easter Bonnet Competition. What would engage the<br />
<strong>Broadway</strong> community in another round of competitive fundraising that could also culminate in a variety show? Ideas were passed<br />
back and forth but the one that stuck was an afternoon to give “gypsies” a moment in the spotlight.<br />
The Gypsy of the Year Competition debuted on the stage of the St. James Theatre – which appropriately enough was then home to<br />
the smash hit revival of Gypsy – on November 28, 1989. Hosted by Gypsy stars Jonathan Hadary and Tyne Daly, directed by Michael<br />
Lichtefeld and produced by Maria Di Dia for <strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong> and Tom Viola for <strong>Equity</strong> <strong>Fights</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong>, the show featured gypsies<br />
form A Chorus Line, Black and Blue, Cats, Grand Hotel, Gypsy, Jerome Robbins’ <strong>Broadway</strong>, Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Sweeney Todd, The<br />
Threepenny Opera, as well as representatives from two Charles Busch productions (Vampire Lesbians of Sodom and The Lady in Question) and The<br />
Heidi Chronicles. This fledgling event raised over $64,000.<br />
Over the next 16 years, new choreographers emerged from the ranks, and a second performance was added, as Gypsy became<br />
one of the most sought-after tickets of the season. The casts from many more shows participated and fundraising efforts increased<br />
dramatically. By the seventh annual edition in 1995, the $1 million dollar mark was broken – an unthinkable goal even five years<br />
before. Four years later a sold-out audience of over 1,600 people at the Palace Theatre cheered when the $2 million fundraising<br />
total has reached for the first time. The 16th edition of Gypsy of the Year raised $2,754,631, over 40 times more than that first edition<br />
in 1989.<br />
Awards presented by Bruce Vilanch, Whoopi Goldberg and Brooke Shields; a farewell tap number featuring the cast of 42nd Street; the ebullient cast of Bombay Dreams;<br />

19th <strong>Annual</strong><br />
EASTER BONNET<br />
COMPETITION<br />
April 18 & 19, <strong>2005</strong><br />
the 19th annual easter bonnet competition – presented for two performances at<br />
the New Amsterdam Theatre – earned a nearly record-breaking $2,849,067, raised by 26 <strong>Broadway</strong> shows, 11 Off-<strong>Broadway</strong><br />
productions, and 17 national touring companies during six enthusiastic weeks of fundraising.<br />
In 1987, the first Easter Bonnet Competition was held backstage at the Palace – home of the original cast of La Cage Aux Folles. So, with<br />
La Cage back on <strong>Broadway</strong>, it seemed appropriate that the opening number would be “Easter Bonnet in Drag,” featuring 12 faux-<br />
Cagelles.<br />
The special number was an added delight with the appearance of a tuxedo-clad Doris Eaton Travis (101 years young) and<br />
Michael Benjamin Washington as “Mahogany.” In her ninth Bonnet appearance, Mrs. Travis – who first appeared on the New<br />
Amsterdam stage in the 1918, 1919 and 1920 editions of The Ziegfeld Follies – joined the boys on stage in a kick-line and shuffle to<br />
cheers and a second standing ovation.<br />
Nineteen shows presented bonnets on stage thanks to our gracious hosts, the company of Disney’s The Lion King.<br />
Highlights included Beauty and the Beast’s presentation of “Hey, Big Blender” (to the tune of Cy Coleman’s classic, “Hey, Big<br />
Spender”); the company of Twelve Angry Men showcasing their hip hop talents with a number called “Diss-Order in the Court”; a bit<br />
of friendly flirting between hosts David Hyde Pierce from Spamalot and Barrett Foa and “Rod” from Avenue Q; the company of Altar<br />
Boyz being introduced by Doubt stars Brían O’Byrne and Cherry Jones as “Sister Aloysius’ favorite band”; Little Women star Sutton<br />
Foster lampooning the “Girls Gone Wild” video with a presentation entitled “March Girls Gone Wild!”; the La Cage bonnet worn<br />
by Gary Beach, and a special lesson in “good hair” by Steel Magnolias’ Frances Sternhagen and Delta Burke.<br />
Of course, it would not have been a Bonnet Competition without a “take no prisoners” appearance by Urinetown’s Officer<br />
Lockstock (Don Richard) and Little Sally (Jennifer Cody). The Bonnet presentations closed with a beautiful rendition of David<br />
Friedman’s “Help is on the Way,” sung by Maureen McGovern (Little Women) and accompanied on the cello by <strong>Equity</strong> member Fred<br />
Rose.<br />
The grand total! Cast members from Beauty and the Beast present their bonnet, yes – that’s Mickey in a blender; the bonnet from The Lion King;<br />

A Bit of Bonnet History<br />
The precursor to the first Easter Bonnet Competition was an informal 1986 show held backstage at the Palace Theatre during the original<br />
<strong>Broadway</strong> run of La Cage Aux Folles, in which the show’s cast members dressed for a contest in which they were judged on the categories<br />
“Poise,” “Personality” and “Talent.” It raised $1,200, which was donated to the then fledging <strong>AIDS</strong> service organization Gay Men’s<br />
Health Crisis. By 1990, the Easter Bonnet Competition had become the <strong>Broadway</strong> community’s premier <strong>AIDS</strong> fundraising event with<br />
funds now going to <strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong>. Easter Bonnet returned to the Palace Theatre in 1995 where it was produced for the first time by<br />
<strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>. In 1998, the show moved to the renovated New Amsterdam Theatre, its home ever since. Nineteen years and just under<br />
400 bonnets later, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s Easter Bonnet Competition has raised over $25 million!<br />

35th Anniversary<br />
Celebration of<br />
ALL MY CHILDREN<br />
February 7, <strong>2005</strong><br />
“all my children” celebrated its 35th anniversary in high style with a live, sold-out<br />
benefit performance at New York’s legendary Town Hall. Soap fans from the New York City area and across the country came<br />
together and helped raise over $250,000 for <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>.<br />
This special benefit evening, starring Susan Lucci and 26 members of the “All My Children” cast, was directed by John<br />
Dietrich with musical direction by Shawn Gough, who also conducted the evening’s musical proceedings.<br />
More than 1,500 loyal, enthusiastic fans cheered loudly throughout the show, giving the cast a much-deserved standing<br />
ovation at the end. The cast and crew definitely delivered the goods with more than two hours of musical numbers. After a montage<br />
featuring highlights from AMC’s first 35 years, the entire cast performed a clever opening number, “I Hope I Get It” from A Chorus<br />
Line, with guest performer Seth Rudetsky adding special lyrics to Edward Kleban and Marvin Hamlisch’s original song.<br />
Act I continued with Susan Lucci singing “Winning Isn’t Everything” – a song written especially for her about the trials and<br />
tribulations of Emmy ® Nominations; Walt Willey, with his own composition “Here is Pine Valley”; Vincent Irizarry, “This is the<br />
Moment” from Jekyll & Hyde; Eva La Rue, “That’s Life/Maybe This Time” from Cabaret; Bobbie Eakes, “Georgia on My Mind”; Aiden<br />
Turner, “All I Care About is Love” from Chicago, and Tonya Pinkins with “Addicted to Love.”<br />
Lucci launched Act II with Cole Porter’s “It’s All Right With Me.” Other performers included: Kathy Brier – a special guest<br />
from “One Life to Live” – who sang “I Want to be a Rockette”; Alicia Minshew, “Laziest Gal in Town”; Tanisha Lynn, “Where the<br />
Boys Are”; Jacob Young, “One Song Glory” from Rent; Eden Riegel and Elizabeth Henrickson, singing a duet of “For Good” from<br />
Wicked, and Susan Lucci with “New York City Blues.”<br />
The evening’s finale featured the cast in a slightly revised version of Irving Berlin’s “There’s No Business Like Show Business,”<br />
with “show” aptly changed to “soap.” The event was dedicated to legendary actress Ruth Warrick who played AMC’s Phoebe Tyler<br />
Wallingford from the show’s inception until her death on January 15, <strong>2005</strong>.<br />
<strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> is grateful to The Walt Disney Company and Brian Frons, president of A<strong>BC</strong> Daytime, for their sponsorship and<br />
support, and thanks Julie Hanan Carruthers, executive producer at “All My Children,” for allowing <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> to share in this<br />
landmark anniversary celebration.<br />
Cast members from All My Children, James Scott, Jill Lawson, Ray MacDonnell, Susan Lucci and Walt Willey in the event’s opening number; elegant Julia Barr and<br />
a radiant Susan Lucci; co-hosts and co-conspirators Walt Willey and Cameron Mathison; Justin Bruening, Alexa Havins and “baby.”<br />

BROADWAY BEARS VIII<br />
February 23, <strong>2005</strong><br />
theatre fans and teddy bear collectors converged on b.b. king’s blues club & grill<br />
for the eighth <strong>Broadway</strong> Bears auction. The event – during which 41 teddy bears based on characters from shows past and present were<br />
auctioned – brought in $116,817 for <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>.<br />
A tiara-crowned Glinda from Wicked – signed by star Kristin Chenoweth – sold for $6,000, making it the event’s top earner.<br />
Returning master of ceremonies Bryan Batt joined auctioneer Lorna Kelly and guest stars Delta Burke, Dame Edna, John<br />
Selya, Maureen McGovern and a special guest: 101-year-old Doris Eaton Travis, who presented a showgirl bear based on The<br />
Ziegfeld Follies of 1919, in which she had appeared as a 15 year-old dancer. The bear, including a photo-op with Mrs. Travis, sold for<br />
$4,000.<br />
Dame Edna posed with her namesake bear, Selya with one based on Eddie, his character in Movin’ Out, and Burke introduced<br />
the bear modeled on Thoroughly Modern Millie’s Sutton Foster. Burke also won two beautiful bears – Elizabeth I from Vivat! Vivat Regina!<br />
and Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard.<br />
Especially moving was the presentation of the bear inspired by the late Gregory Hines’ character from Jelly’s Last Jam, highlighted<br />
by a touching tribute from Mary Bond Davis, his co-star in that show.<br />
All one-of-a-kind, museum-quality bears featured were dressed in original, handmade costumes. Other bears receiving high<br />
bids were: Hugh Jackman as Peter Allen in The Boy From Oz ($4,500); Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd ($4,250);<br />
Rani from Bombay Dreams ($4,000); Hedwig from Hedwig and the Angry Inch ($4,000), and Trekkie Monster, backed by two puppeteer<br />
bears, from Avenue Q ($4,000).<br />
The intimate event opened with a spirited musical number featuring Alan Ruck and Richard Kind, The Producers, Micky Dolenz,<br />
Aida, Christine Pedi, Forbidden <strong>Broadway</strong> and Batt, Jeffrey. Designer Joanna Cayot pulled off a surprise when she brought out teddy<br />
bears resembling auctioneer Kelly and Scott T. Stevens, producer of all eight Bears Auctions.<br />
Their efforts, as well as those of the designers and sponsors, helped Bears reach an eight-year total of $1,113,000!<br />
<strong>Broadway</strong> Bears I through VIII would not have been possible without the continued generosity of the North American Bear Co.,<br />
Inc which since 1998 has donated our deluxe “furry models.”<br />
Miriam Carlin with Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard, just one of the many beautiful bears she has created; Dame Edna, “Back with a Vengence”<br />
created by Larry Tarzy and Judy Badame; the extraordinary bear of Avenue Q’s Trekkie and “handlers” Jennifer Barnhart and Rick Lyon, created by Karl A. Ruckdeschel;<br />

NOTHING LIKE<br />
A DAME<br />
March 14, <strong>2005</strong><br />
nothing like a dame turned 10 in <strong>2005</strong> and since its inception has raised over $1.6<br />
million for The Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative (PNWHI) of The Actors’ Fund. The <strong>2005</strong> edition was an entertainment<br />
success as well, with more than 65 <strong>Broadway</strong> Dames, a dancing troupe of 14 young “damsels” and La Cage Aux Folles’ irrepressible<br />
Cagelles performing for 1,400 at the Marriott Marquis Theatre.<br />
In an evening of highlights, standouts included Lillias White’s grand opening medley of “I Enjoy Being a Girl,” “Thank<br />
Heaven for Little Girls” and “There is Nothing Like a Dame”; a stellar Cy Coleman medley featuring Barbara Walsh, Jennifer<br />
Cody, Karen Ziemba, Randy Graff and Dee Hoty; a reprise of Zoe Caldwell’s performance of “Liaisons” from the recent Los<br />
Angeles production of A Little Night Music; Lauren Flanigan’s heartfelt “Will There Really Be a Morning?”; Bebe Neuwirth’s reprise<br />
of “Susan’s Dream” from the Off-<strong>Broadway</strong> musical Here Lies Jenny; Maureen McGovern’s show-stopper from Little Women, “Days of<br />
Plenty”; and Andrea McArdle’s “Everybody Says Don’t.” Special guests included Paige Davis and Phylicia Rashad.<br />
Dames ended with a flourish when La Cage’s Gary Beach presented a $300,000 check from <strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong> for the Women’s<br />
Health Initiative to Phyllis Newman, Maria Di Dia, Lynn Redgrave and Liz Smith.<br />
A program of The Actors’ Fund since 1995, the Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative was created with the help of an<br />
initial grant of $10,000 from <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> to provide a specific safety net for women in the entertainment industry coping with critical<br />
health concerns, financial, psychological and family issues.<br />
In <strong>2005</strong>, 372 women in the entertainment industry received emergency financial assistance and the case management and<br />
individual counseling necessary to help them access appropriate social services for a wide variety of health concerns, including<br />
cancer prevention and treatment, domestic violence, depression, eating disorders and substance abuse.<br />
Continental Airlines, The New York Times, Altria Group, The House of Harry Winston, Newman’s Own and John’s Pizzeria were<br />
the event’s corporate sponsors.<br />

BROADWAY BARES<br />
June 19, <strong>2005</strong><br />
broadway bares 15 raised $654,000 and set a new fundraising record for this event,<br />
well above the previous benchmark of $525,000, set in 2004. During its 15-year history, Bares has raised a total of $3,479,000.<br />
Titled “Rxxx, Take Two and Call Me in the Morning,” <strong>2005</strong>’s medically-themed evening featured 196 dancers in 13 elaborate<br />
numbers, created by five choreographers – Jeff Amsden, Greg Graham, Nick Kenkel, Dontee Kiehn and Rhonda Miller. Denis<br />
Jones – assisted by Peter Gregus – directed the event and executive producer was Tony Award ® winner Jerry Mitchell, who launched<br />
Bares with seven dancers in 1991. More than 6,500 people attended the two shows (9:30 and midnight), which were held in New<br />
York’s Roseland for the seventh year.<br />
Guest stars included Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Bruce Vilanch, Jai Rodriquez, “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”, Angie Schworer,<br />
The Producers, Cheyenne Jackson, All Shook Up and Christina Applegate, who sent up her various Sweet Charity mishaps. Christopher<br />
Sieber joined Spamalot co-stars Tim Curry and David Hyde Pierce, who spoofed their signature characters, Rocky Horror’s Dr. Frankn-furter<br />
and Dr. Niles Crane from “Frasier.”<br />
The evening kicked off with live vocals from Shoshana Bean, Wicked, singing a number called “Doctor’s Orders” and ended<br />
with a rousing rendition of “Boogie Fever” from Big River’s Michael McElroy. Other highlights included “The Study of Man,” which<br />
offered a solo moment for <strong>2005</strong> poster boy Timothy Bish and “Cherokee Shaman,” a gravity-defying performance from the Las<br />
Vegas-based troupe “The Living Art of Armando,” as well as skits featuring the Cagelles from La Cage Aux Folles, burlesque headliner<br />
Dirty Martini, John Selya from Movin’ Out and Lisa Gajda, Spamalot, plus Avenue Q’s Barrett Foa and “Rod.”<br />
Both shows ended with lucrative turns around the stage by all of the evening’s dancers, with donation-inducing commentary<br />
for the midnight show provided by Sieber and Jackson. This year’s “Rotation” raised $32,223 in bills of all denominations tucked<br />
into the g-strings of <strong>Broadway</strong>’s hottest male and female dancers.<br />
At the end of the first show, MAC Cosmetics CEO John Demsey presented Mitchell and <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> with a check for $75,000.<br />
MAC not only offered this very generous financial sponsorship, but donated all the makeup and 70 makeup artists for the event.<br />
Additional sponsors were Adam Raphael Photography, Absolut Vodka, Next Magazine, 1-800-Postcards, and Out Magazine.<br />
Months of planning, promotion and rehearsal went into this event, led by <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> producers Michael Graziano and Anthony<br />
LaTorella. More than 100 volunteers were put through their paces backstage by production stage manager Kimberly Russell and 20<br />
additional stage managers. Without question, <strong>Broadway</strong> Bares 15 set the bar for future events.<br />

19th ANNUAL<br />
BROADWAY FLEA MARKET<br />
AND GRAND AUCTION<br />
September 25, <strong>2005</strong><br />
one of our most successful grand auctions ever helped broadway cares’ 19th annual<br />
Flea Market and Grand Auction earn $544,037, our best result since 2000’s record-setting total of $574,000.<br />
More than 250,000 people spent a total of $246,957 at the 63 flea market tables that stretched from Shubert Alley onto<br />
44th Street, which was closed off between 7th and 8th Avenues. The most financially successful tables were: United Scenic Artists<br />
($23,865), <strong>Broadway</strong> Beat ($19,470), <strong>Broadway</strong>.com ($9,914, which included on-line auction items), Wicked ($7,854), TDF<br />
($7,621), and Spamalot ($7,333).<br />
Seventy-six items sold during the five-hour silent auction, including: “All You Have to Do,” a musical phrase from Assassins<br />
signed by Stephen Sondheim ($7,000); a phrase from Avenue Q signed by Bobby Lopez and Jeff Marx ($1,600) and two from Wicked<br />
signed by Stephen Schwartz ($1,510 and $1,250). A 1940s playbill from Othello, signed by star Paul Robeson, sold for $1,100. The<br />
Silent Auction brought in $43,380.<br />
Auctioneer Lorna Kelly and host Bryan Batt kept the excitement high throughout the highly successful Grand Auction, the<br />
day’s final event. Among the 55 items auctioned were: two VIP tickets to the New York film premiere of Rent ($3,400); walk-on<br />
roles in Mamma Mia! ($6,500), Wicked ($6,000) and Phantom of the Opera ($7,500); VIP tickets to The Tony Awards ® and the gala that<br />
follows ($8,750) and VIP tickets to the final performance of Movin’ Out ($3,000).<br />
Another highlight was the Celebrity Table and Photo Booth, which earned a highly respectable $11,000, thanks to the 77 stars<br />
of <strong>Broadway</strong> and Daytime television who took time out from their busy schedules to chat with fans, sign memorabilia and pose for<br />
photos. Among the participants were three stars of Spamalot: Christopher Sieber, David Hyde Pierce and Tim Curry. Also extremely<br />
popular with the fans were Rosie O’Donnell, Patti LuPone, Bebe Neuwirth, Lynn Redgrave, Valerie Harper, Judith Light, Victoria<br />
Clark, Norbert Leo Butz, Patrick Wilson, Cheyenne Jackson and Anthony Rapp, as well as first timers Laura Linney and Joan<br />
Allen.<br />

BROADWAY<br />
BARKS VII<br />
July 30, <strong>2005</strong><br />
how it all began<br />
The <strong>Broadway</strong> Flea Market had an inauspicious start. In 1987,<br />
the event debuted as two tables presented by the company of<br />
A Chorus Line outside their stage door in Shubert Alley as a part<br />
of the first <strong>Equity</strong> <strong>Fights</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong> week, raising what was thought<br />
to be an astonishing $7,000. Over the next four years, under<br />
the leadership of Ethel Bayer, Stephen Falat, Arne Gundersen<br />
and Larry Hansen, the Flea Market grew with tables from more<br />
shows, theatre-related offices, unions, and guilds – everyone<br />
recognizing a good cause and a great chance to clean house.<br />
In 1988, an auction of eight lots was created, but with no<br />
experienced auctioneer, sputtered to its finish. In 1989,<br />
Sotheby’s Lorna Kelly came on board as our official auctioneer<br />
and with her expertise a truly “grand” auction was born. Today<br />
the <strong>Broadway</strong> Flea Market and Grand Auction brings thousands from<br />
the theatre community and audiences to Shubert Alley and<br />
along 44th Street. As they say, from little acorns… or more<br />
specifically, over 16 years from 1987 to <strong>2005</strong>, this event has<br />
raised over $6.4 million, and we’re still signing posters,<br />
gathering swag, and cleaning closets and auctioning one-of-akind<br />
theatrical experiences for a good cause.<br />
The indomitable cast members of The Phantom of the Opera in front of<br />
the Majestic Theatre where they have presented a crowd-pleasing table of Phantom<br />
memorabilia for the last 18 of 19 <strong>Broadway</strong> Flea Markets; before there was<br />
Spamalot, there was Frasier, both starring the delightful David Hyde Pierce,<br />
here auctioning a signed script from the show now-classic television show; the stars<br />
of All Shook Up, Jenn Gambatese and Cheyenne Jackson.<br />
celebrating its 7th successful year,<br />
<strong>Broadway</strong> Barks has become as much of a part of <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s Shubert<br />
Alley tradition as the <strong>Annual</strong> Flea Market and Grand Auction.<br />
Barks VII brought out <strong>Broadway</strong> Barks Founders Bernadette<br />
Peters and Mary Tyler Moore, and the hottest stars from<br />
<strong>Broadway</strong> to introduce animals from 26 New York City<br />
shelters.<br />
As always, the celebrities who took time out from their<br />
busy schedules to drop by Shubert Alley to present animals for<br />
adoption (and show off their own prize pets) drew enthusiastic<br />
crowds. Among the presenters were Victoria Clark, The Light in<br />
the Piazza, Maureen McGovern, Little Women, Denis O’Hare, Sweet<br />
Charity, Brad Oscar, The Producers, David Hyde Pierce and Chris<br />
Sieber, Spamalot, Joanna Gleason and Gregory Jbara, Dirty Rotten<br />
Scoundrels, Harvey Fierstein and Andrea Martin, Fiddler on the Roof,<br />
Bill Irwin, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Cheyenne Jackson<br />
and Alix Korey, All Shook Up.<br />
The event included a silent auction featuring 40 packages<br />
of celebrity-autographed memorabilia with proceeds of over<br />
$50,000 benefiting the 26 participating shelters. It was a<br />
wonderful Saturday afternoon with over 40 dogs and cats<br />
finding homes as the message behind the event – the importance<br />
of spaying and neutering – made a positive impact.<br />
The founders of <strong>Broadway</strong> Barks, Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore,<br />
admire a particularly handsome young Lab; Bebe Neuwirth with one of the cats<br />
making a brief appearance in Shubert Alley; one of the most personable dogs of this<br />
or any day. Happily, all three animals and many more found safe new homes.<br />

NATIONAL<br />
SUPPORT<br />
across the country, fundraising efforts on behalf of bc/efa have grown<br />
substantially in the past several years. In regional, stock, and dinner theatres across the country, as well as in cities that play host to<br />
<strong>Broadway</strong>’s national touring shows, casts collaborate to raise funds for <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> year-round.<br />
<strong>Broadway</strong>’s national tours are <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s ambassadors on the road. Without the added administrative expense of official<br />
chapters in cities across the country, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> is able to raise funds through autographed poster sales and curtain speeches as<br />
companies travel. These efforts raise hundreds of thousands of dollars each year and are an important piece of the financial<br />
support <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> provides through the National Grants Program to many <strong>AIDS</strong> service organizations in the cities visited by the<br />
national tours as they wind their way across the country. Appeals have been made by such touring shows as 42nd Street, Blue Man Group,<br />
Big River, Chicago, Evita, Hairspray, Jesus Christ Superstar, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Les Misérables, Little Shop of Horrors, Mamma Mia!,<br />
Movin’ Out, Peter Pan, Riverdance, The King and I, The Lion King, The Phantom of the Opera, The Producers, Thoroughly Modern Millie and White Christmas.<br />
Cast members from many tours go to the added effort of presenting special cabaret evenings in local clubs or theatres, the<br />
proceeds of which are then shared with local <strong>AIDS</strong> organizations and <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>. The generous efforts of our friends on the road<br />
amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars that go back through <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> to local <strong>AIDS</strong> service organizations nationwide.<br />
Fifteen years ago, the first “<strong>Equity</strong> <strong>Fights</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong> Week” was declared. What was then the <strong>Equity</strong> <strong>Fights</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong> Committee sent<br />
letters to every equity theatre asking that an appeal be made during Thanksgiving Week. That first year brought in over $70,000<br />
from a few dozen theatres. Over the years, more local theatres joined in what turned into annual efforts, and in 1992, <strong>EFA</strong> Week<br />
became <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> Week, a fundraising tradition which continues to this day. More importantly, over time, many regional theatres<br />
became allied with their local <strong>AIDS</strong> service organizations, raising funds for them as the national tours do for <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>.<br />
Some theatres continue to do both. The Geva Theatre in Rochester, NY; San Francisco’s American Conservatory Theatre;<br />
The Carousel Dinner Theatre in Akron, OH; The Actors’ Theatre of Louisville, KY; The Arkansas Repertory Theatre in Little<br />
Rock; Coral Gables, FL’s Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre; Boston’s Charles Playhouse; North Shore Musical Theatre in<br />
Beverly, MA; The Pittsburgh Public Theatre; The Boarshead Theatre in Lansing, MI; Capitol Repertory Theatre in Albany, NY;<br />
Seaside Music Theatre in New Haven’s Long Wharf Theatre; Triad Stage Company in Greensboro, NC, and Ohio’s Cincinnati<br />
Playhouse in the Park are just a few of <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s stalwart supporters across the country. Our thanks go out to the theatre community<br />
nationwide for its efforts on our behalf.<br />

BROADWAY<br />
ON EBAY<br />
bc/efa’s auctions on ebay began in 2001, immediately following a disappointing<br />
<strong>Broadway</strong> Flea Market, much of which was rained out. As an afterthought, we put some of the unsold merchandise up for auction<br />
on eBay, and to our surprise, the results were impressive and a successful new <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> fundraising initiative was launched. In the<br />
past five years, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s eBay auctions have become a lucrative fundraising initiative. In fiscal year <strong>2005</strong>, 1,046 items sold for a<br />
collective $105,513, a slight increase over 2004’s total of $104,565.<br />
Autographed playbills and posters as well as props, costume pieces, exclusive opening night gifts, and one-of-a-kind theatrical<br />
memorabilia have all contributed to this very successful campaign. Stand-out items from fiscal year <strong>2005</strong> included a signed poster<br />
from Wicked and an opening night poster from Spamalot, which sold for $1000.00 and $1010.00, respectively; two posters from the<br />
All My Children 35th Anniversary event, which sold for $565.00 and $557.00; a handwritten musical phrase from Spamalot, signed by the<br />
composer ($648.84), and a 1996 script from Rent’s first year on <strong>Broadway</strong>, signed by the 2003 cast ($565.00). Obviously, other<br />
items went for less, but all were greatly appreciated, and added up to a very profitable year for <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> on eBay.<br />
Signing for a Cause: <strong>Broadway</strong> Show Posters<br />
In addition to the direct financial support <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> provides to hundreds of <strong>AIDS</strong> and family service organizations, we regularly<br />
receive requests for signed <strong>Broadway</strong> show posters that can be included in fundraising auctions and raffles across the country. Last<br />
year, over 620 signed show posters were sent in packages of 6-10 to 64 <strong>AIDS</strong> service providers to enhance their ability to raise funds<br />
in their local communities.<br />
It is no small favor to ask the casts of <strong>Broadway</strong> shows to sign dozens of posters, month after month, year after year. In addition<br />
to thousands sold for <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> in theatres and by <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> on eBay, hundreds more are sent by <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> to agencies that would<br />
otherwise never have this kind of unique fundraising resource.<br />
Consider this: 700 posters at $100 (and many are auctioned for much more) equals $70,000 in additional revenue to dozens<br />
of grassroots organizations across the country. Our sincere thanks to everyone in any show who has ever taken pen to poster and<br />
signed their name once, twice, a dozen times, or until their hand hurt.<br />
A guitar signed by the entire cast of All Shook Up and played in the show by leading man, Cheyenne Jackson; a theatre-lover’s treasure, signed posters from Spamalot,<br />
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Light in the Piazza; signed Playbills from Twelve Angry Men and The 25th <strong>Annual</strong> Putnam County Spelling Bee; and we ask you,<br />
who could not bid on a toilet seat lid bearing the logo from Urinetown?<br />

SCHOOLS<br />
OUTREACH<br />
fy <strong>2005</strong> was the most successful year yet for educational outreach efforts at<br />
<strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>, both financially and in student and teacher involvement. From elementary school through college, student groups of all<br />
ages raised a record-setting $120,000 through ticket sales, auctions, and special events.<br />
Thanks in large part to their efforts, the <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> Schools Outreach Program has nearly doubled in the last year. While more<br />
new schools are registering to help us fight <strong>AIDS</strong>, those that have supported us in the past continue to set and meet higher goals for<br />
their local <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> fundraising campaigns.<br />
Many student theatre groups model their fundraising efforts on those used by <strong>Broadway</strong> shows; ticket sales, concerts, live and<br />
silent auctions, poster sales and audience appeals are good ways to raise money on local campuses, as they are on the <strong>Broadway</strong> stage.<br />
Feedback shows that parents and teachers appreciate the <strong>AIDS</strong> awareness initiatives we bring into their schools, calling our<br />
educational outreach “invaluable.” By encouraging students to plan <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> fundraisers in their schools, we empower them to<br />
become leaders in HIV-prevention in their own communities. Often we put schools in contact with <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> grantees in their<br />
cities and towns, so that schools can seek speakers, HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong> statistics or even student volunteer opportunities. Some efforts turn<br />
into week-long <strong>AIDS</strong> awareness campaigns involving assemblies, history lessons, or even a day of student-written presentations.<br />
Several regional and national organizations have a powerful impact on the success of our educational outreach efforts, including<br />
The New York State Theatre Education Association, which hosts a <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> campaign at its annual conference. Thespian troupes<br />
nationwide raised over 60% of all the funds brought in through educational outreach efforts in <strong>2005</strong>, all with the full support of<br />
their parent organization, the Educational Theatre Association, the largest proponent of educational theatre in the country.<br />
The Educational Outreach Program has grown in part due to more participation on the college level, where student groups,<br />
like national theatre fraternity Alpha Psi Omega, network to encourage new chapters to host <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> campaigns on local campuses.<br />
Students are more likely to carry the <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> message to semi-professional and community theatre groups when they graduate,<br />
which in turn contributes to our outreach efforts to theatre companies and tours outside New York City.<br />
<strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong>/<strong>Equity</strong> <strong>Fights</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong> is proud to inspire young audiences in the fight against <strong>AIDS</strong>.<br />
Student officers campaign for <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> at the Georgia State Festival; thespians from the Florida State Festival sign the tribute wall; students from five different<br />
Connecticut high schools come together for the <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> gala fundraising finale; students from North Penn High School in Lansdale, PA present the big check; a truly motivated<br />

CORPORATE<br />
SUPPORT<br />
broadway cares/equity fights aids was fortunate to have the continued support<br />
of a broad range of corporate donors in <strong>2005</strong>. As one of the largest charities representing <strong>Broadway</strong> and the American theatre,<br />
<strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> is able to connect major corporate brands with one of the nation’s foremost creative industries. We are also able to ensure<br />
that a corporation’s support reaches into nearly every community in the country through our National Grants Program. Our<br />
corporate partners are able to build brand loyalty among millions of people who are in some way associated with <strong>Broadway</strong>, be it on<br />

RETAIL OUTREACH:<br />
GIFTS THAT “GIVE BACK”<br />
The Catalog of Giving and The <strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong> Collection<br />
The primary goal of the Retail Outreach Program is to promote <strong>AIDS</strong> awareness and visibility for <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>. In pursuit of this goal,<br />
<strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> makes the classic Red Ribbon available for free or at cost to <strong>AIDS</strong> service organizations and individuals nationwide.<br />
The retail Catalog of Giving (in print and online at www.broadwaycares.org) appeals to <strong>Broadway</strong> enthusiasts and collectors<br />
across the country, presenting autographed theatre-related books, compact discs, DVDs, posters, T-shirts, opening night gifts and<br />
other <strong>Broadway</strong>-related items, as well as exclusive red-ribbon gift items.<br />
One of our biggest successes is The <strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong> Collection, a series of theatrically-themed items – including a beach towel,<br />
baseball cap, T-shirt and more – adorned with over twenty <strong>Broadway</strong> musical logos. The <strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong> Snow Globe, redesigned<br />
yearly to the delight of collectors, remains the most popular catalog item. In fiscal year <strong>2005</strong>, The Catalog of Giving generated<br />
$513,845, up from $460,580 in 2004.<br />
The program forges relationships with other <strong>AIDS</strong> service and fundraising organizations, in which all artisans and trainees are<br />
people living with HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong>, by including their products in our catalog. For example, Nightsweats and T-cells, an Ohio-based<br />
shop, provides all of our silkscreen printing of <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> merchandise. Many hand-crafted items come from The Alpha Workshops<br />
in Manhattan, while hand-beaded pieces are created for <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> by the women of South Africa-based Thembalethu Beaders.<br />
CARETIX/CARECARDS<br />
The CareTix program offers supporters access to the best seats in the house for <strong>Broadway</strong>, Off-<strong>Broadway</strong>, Radio City Music Hall,<br />
The Metropolitan Opera, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and national touring shows in exchange for a charitable donation<br />
equal to the face value of the ticket price. CareTix buyers get the best seats to shows that are often already sold out to the general<br />
public. Since 1988, CareTix has raised more than $10.6 million with $1,393,920 in FY <strong>2005</strong>. The CareCard program provides<br />
a thoughtful gift for a variety of holidays, special occasions and events. For a tax-deductible gift of $15 or more per card, <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong><br />
creates and addresses beautifully designed cards with each donor’s personal greetings, indicating that a gift has been made to <strong>BC</strong>/<br />
<strong>EFA</strong> in the recipient’s honor. In <strong>2005</strong>, the CareCard program raised $145,187 for <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>.<br />

BROADWAY<br />
DELIVERS<br />
broadway delivers is thriving by bringing the excitement of broadway to a spectrum<br />
of events nationwide, from product launches, to conventions, conferences and other corporate events.<br />
Fiscal Year <strong>2005</strong> was packed with activity. In October of 2004, Andrea McArdle, Annie and Christopher Sieber, Spamalot<br />
participated in an evening of Celebrity Poker with GQ at Bergdorf’s. Later that month Alice Ripley, Side Show and Euan Morton, Taboo<br />
sang at the United Nations Eradication of Poverty Awards dinner. November kicked off with the national sales meeting for Karastan<br />
Carpets, where <strong>Broadway</strong> Delivers brought Chicago’s Brent Barrett, McArdle and Aida’s Felicia Finley to the Arizona Biltmore in<br />
Phoenix. That same month, McArdle, Finley and Chris Jackson, The Lion King took part in a gala performance celebrating the 100th<br />
Anniversary of Times Square.<br />
In December, <strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong> trained holiday carolers to pop up in prominent locations throughout New York City as part of<br />
a larger promotion with Old Navy to bring their series of Christmas Carolers commercials to life. The effort culminated with “Old<br />
Navy’s Curtain Call For Carolers” in Times Square on December 13, where we attempted to enter the Guinness Book of World<br />
Records by gathering the most carolers in one place. Good Morning America covered the event, which featured Edie Falco, ‘night Mother,<br />
Drew Lachey, Rent and the cast of Avenue Q.<br />
That spring, Brooke Procida, Chris Jackson and The Music Man’s Ric Ryder went down to Florida for the launch of pharmaceutical<br />
company Boeringer Igleheim’s new HIV drug, Tipranavir. May began with the International Travel and Trade Show Pow Wow,<br />
where <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> produced two shows back-to-back over two nights. The first performance at Rockefeller Center highlighted<br />
the music of New York with Ryder, Rent’s Kim Varhola, Finley and Jackson. The next night at the new Time Warner Center on<br />
Columbus Circle offered an exciting mix of New York dance – choreographed by Chase Brock.<br />
On May 5, Anheuser Busch joined us in Central Park for the Opening Day of the <strong>Broadway</strong> Show League. <strong>Broadway</strong>’s Paige<br />

Dancers<br />
Responding to <strong>AIDS</strong><br />
(DRA)<br />
dancers responding to aids is the american dance community’s ongoing response<br />
to the health crisis, rallying the dance world to raise money for direct assistance to dance professionals living with HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong>, as<br />
well as <strong>AIDS</strong> service organizations nationwide. These funds are distributed through The Actors’ Fund of America, and through<br />
<strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s National Grants Program. The following are DRA’s signature events and programs during fiscal year <strong>2005</strong>:<br />
DANCE STUDENT OUTREACH PROJECT<br />
The newly dubbed Dance Student Outreach Project (formerly Studio of the Year) encourages dance students across America to get<br />
involved and fundraise for DRA. At DRA Dance Invitationals and Capezio-sponsored “Stars of Tomorrow… Giving Back Today”<br />
performances, students raise money by selling tickets and performing with professional dance companies at spectacular venues.<br />
DRA also has joined forces with New York City Dance Alliance and Tremaine Dance Conventions & Competitions to award top<br />
fundraising students and studios a free trip to London or Los Angeles. Additional dance competition affiliates that raise funds for<br />
DRA are Dance Masters of America and Dance Olympus.<br />
DRA Outreach Dancers are individuals who raise funds for DRA in a number of creative ways, like Jessica Morgan from Miller<br />
Place, NY, who raised $2,146 by organizing a DRA benefit, and nine-year-old Nyree Modisette from Gary, IN, who raised $141<br />
selling pointe shoes cut out of construction paper.<br />
FIRE ISLAND DANCE FESTIVAL 11<br />
In July of <strong>2005</strong>, the 11th <strong>Annual</strong> Fire Island Dance Festival brought in a record $170,000 for DRA and proved a critical success as well.<br />
Hosted by <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> Trustee Alan Cumming (Tony Award ® winner for Cabaret) and La Cage’s Michael Benjamin Washington as his<br />
alter ego “Mahogany,” the festival included three shows, featuring 41 dancers from 13 companies, including Alvin Ailey American<br />
Dance Theater, Momix, Mark Morris Dance Group and Stephen Petronio Company. More than 800 people attended the three<br />
sold-out shows, which were hosted for the second consecutive year at Beau Clarke and Tony Moran’s home in the Fire Island Pines,<br />
overlooking the Great South Bay. The weekend-long festival began on Friday, with a Brazilian-themed kickoff party underwritten<br />
by William Hayden and Ron Perkov, and held at their bay-front home.<br />
Cedar Lake performing Benoit-Swan Pouffer’s and those... at the Fire Island Dance Festival 11; Desmond Richardson in Dwight Rhoden’s Wonder-full; Gino Grenek<br />

THE TENTH AND FINAL YEAR OF the remember project<br />
On December 4, 2004 the final performance of the remember project, one of Dancers Responding to <strong>AIDS</strong>’ most celebrated annual<br />
events, was held at Danspace Project at St. Mark’s Church. This twelve-hour performance – which marked a decade of paying<br />
tribute to lives lost and people living with HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong> – included performances from more than 85 dance companies, including<br />
Philadanco, Pilobolus, Martha Graham Dance Company, Mark Morris Dance Group, Merce Cunningham Dance Company,<br />
Chinese Folk Dance Company and Battleworks. The midnight finale of this powerful, cathartic event included a presentation of<br />
murals, featuring the names of those who have been honored during the past 10 years, spread across the floor of the church in an<br />
act of remembrance, and inspiring hope in the power of dance to bring communities together.<br />
SUMMER IN BRYANT PARK<br />
On two very hot days in August <strong>2005</strong>, the beautifully restored Bryant Park was literally filled to the brim with spectators for three<br />
free events, all hosted by DRA. <strong>Broadway</strong> for Life! featured cast members from the Columbia Pictures/Revolution Studios’ film Rent<br />

Danskin and featured dancers from six leading ballroom studios.<br />
LOOKING AHEAD…<br />
Remembering where we’ve been and looking ahead at all there is to come, DRA remains driven by the simple tenet: “When <strong>AIDS</strong><br />
is stopped, we will dance for joy. Until then, we will dance for life!”<br />

Classical<br />
action<br />
performing arts against aids<br />
classical action: performing arts against aids was founded in 1993 and merged with<br />
<strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong> in October 1997. Classical Action raises money for <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> by drawing on the talents, resources, and generosity<br />
of the performing arts community nationwide, with an emphasis on the classical, jazz and opera communities. These funds are<br />
distributed primarily through The Actors’ Fund of America and <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>’s National Grants Program. Classical Action maintains<br />
its own identity and conducts its own fundraising endeavors, while <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> assumes some administrative responsibilities, allowing<br />
Classical Action’s small staff to focus on events and other fundraising activities.<br />
A Sensational Second Season for Michael Palm Series<br />
The second season of the Michael Palm Series to benefit Classical Action began December 2, 2004, at the home of Judy and<br />
Steven Gluckstern in New York City and launched the 2004-05 season. Underwritten by the Michael Palm Foundation, this<br />
series honors the memory of Palm, a long-time friend and supporter of Classical Action. The season’s first concert featured<br />
world-renowned baritone Thomas Hampson and acclaimed pianist Brian Zeger performing the music of Schumann, Rorem,<br />
Bernstein, and Copland.<br />
On March 3, <strong>2005</strong>, the second concert in the series brought the world’s premier flutist, Sir James Galway, his long-time<br />
partner at the piano, Phillip Moll, and his flutist wife, Lady Jeanne Galway, to the appreciative listeners at the Glucksterns’<br />
home. Finally, on May 2, the series brought back one of the great pianists of the younger generation, Lang Lang, who, in his<br />
fourth concert for Classical Action, dazzled the audience with exhilarating performances of Mozart and Chopin.<br />
$90,000: An All-time Up Our Alley Fundraising Total!<br />
On June 13, <strong>2005</strong>, 42 teams made up of Classical Action’s friends and colleagues from all corners of the performing arts<br />
community returned to New York’s Bowlmor Lanes & Pressure for the seventh annual Up Our Alley: Benefit Bowling Bonanza, where<br />
they celebrated raising a record $90,000. The fundraising winner was “Bowling Greens 1,” from River to River/CB Richard<br />
Ellis, which raised $7,726, easily breaking all previous Up Our Alley team fundraising totals. Title sponsor WQXR 96.3 FM<br />
presented Up Our Alley 7. Playbill, Inc. and ViceVersa Restaurant were supporting sponsors, with the association of Izze Sparkling<br />
Juices.<br />

On the Home-front: Classical Action House Concerts<br />
One of Classical Action’s most successful fundraising endeavors is the production of private house concerts, in which supporters<br />
host concerts in their homes featuring some of the most prominent artists in music today, all of whom donate their time and<br />
talent. Concerts were hosted in homes across New York City, including one with mezzo-soprano Susanne Mentzer in Chelsea,<br />
the Tokyo String Quartet on the Upper East Side, and 18-year-old pianist Natasha Paremski near Washington Square. Classical<br />
Action’s annual Maestro Appreciation Concert, with tickets offered exclusively to the organization’s major donors (Maestros), was held<br />
in SoHo and featured a world-class performance by the Takàcs Quartet. Outside New York, house concerts featured pianist<br />
Garrick Ohlsson in San Francisco, and, for the fourth consecutive year, the Houston-based Center for <strong>AIDS</strong> Information &<br />
Advocacy and Classical Action co-produced a house concert featuring pianist André Watts.<br />
Community Support: Classical Action Collaborations<br />
Seven events provided additional support for Classical Action through the generosity of our friends in the artist management<br />
and presenting communities. On May 22, <strong>2005</strong>, Janice Mayer & Associates celebrated its Tenth Anniversary with “New Vistas,”<br />
a concert to benefit Classical Action. Held at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the event featured more than 20<br />
artists performing a selection of New York and world-premiere pieces. Nearly $75,000 was raised for Classical Action.<br />
For the second consecutive summer, Classical Action was proud to curate River to River Festival’s Summer Stars, a five-part<br />
concert series, free to the public and held at the Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts at Pace University. The series highlighted<br />
up-and-coming performers in the classical music world. Eighteen year-old pianist Adam Golka, violinist/pianist/composer<br />
Daniel Bernard Roumain and Bulgarian-born solo percussionist Svet Stoyanov were among the artists showcased. On August<br />
5, 2004, and for the second year in a row, the Mostly Mozart Festival and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts donated<br />
a portion of each ticket sold to Classical Action. Mostly Mozart Festival’s Music Director Louis Langrée, pianist Jean-Yves<br />
Thibaudet, flutist Sir James Galway, and members of the Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra, all made contributions in support of<br />
our work. Their acts of kindness and generosity raised more than $15,000 and helped Classical Action enjoy another successful<br />
year.<br />

the angels<br />
campaign<br />
angels are donors who support bc/efa’s vital work with unrestricted gifts of<br />
$1,000 or more during a single fiscal year. These gifts are especially important, as they provide us with a dependable core of<br />
donors whose gifts are not related to the purchase of merchandise and/or event tickets. These funds go directly into our pool of<br />
grantmaking dollars, which are in turn distributed to HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong> service organizations nationwide, as well as to the numerous<br />
social service and housing programs of The Actors’ Fund of America.<br />
In <strong>Broadway</strong> lingo, an “angel” is an investor in a theatre production. In exchange for that financial investment, angels are<br />
traditionally guaranteed the best seats in the house for the shows their dollars make possible. The Angels Campaign creates a<br />
similar tradition for its supporters, granting <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> Angels VIP status, along with a host of associated benefits.<br />
<strong>2005</strong> ANGELS CAMPAIGN<br />

In addition to The Angels Campaign, significant funds are generated through various <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong> annual and one-time special<br />
events, such as The Easter Bonnet Competition, Gypsy of the Year, The <strong>Broadway</strong> Flea Market, and <strong>Broadway</strong> Bares. Considerable financial support<br />
also comes to us through our CareTix and CareCard programs. Contributions from all these sources are among the most vital<br />
to <strong>BC</strong>/<strong>EFA</strong>.<br />
The following pages list the names of those who have supported these events and programs with generous contributions<br />
during our fiscal year <strong>2005</strong> from October 1, 2004 to September 30, <strong>2005</strong>. Amounts listed are the tax-deductible portion of<br />
the donation, the total gift amount minus any fair market value for goods received.<br />

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of <strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong>/<strong>Equity</strong> <strong>Fights</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong>, Inc. as of September<br />
30, <strong>2005</strong> and 2004, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the years then ended. These<br />
financial statements are the responsibility of the Organization’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on<br />
these financial statements based on our audits.<br />
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those<br />
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are<br />

in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by<br />
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable<br />
basis for our opinion.<br />
In our opinion, the financial statements enumerated above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of<br />
<strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong>/<strong>Equity</strong> <strong>Fights</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong>, Inc. as of September 30, <strong>2005</strong> and 2004, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows<br />

FINANCIAL<br />
STATEMENTS<br />
SEPTEMBER 30, <strong>2005</strong> AND 2004<br />
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />
[1] Organization:<br />
<strong>Broadway</strong> <strong>Cares</strong>/<strong>Equity</strong> <strong>Fights</strong> <strong>AIDS</strong>, Inc. (the “Organization”) is a not-for-profit entity that raises money to provide grants to (i)<br />
organizations providing assistance for health-care to those individuals in the entertainment industry, who are affected by critical health<br />
issues, including but not limited to HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong>, and (ii) organizations and programs nationwide and internationally that provide care and<br />
services to people living with HIV/<strong>AIDS</strong>. Occasionally, the Organization also facilitates the fund-raising capabilities of the theatre<br />
community to address and support an urgent crisis or need, as directed by the Board of Directors.<br />
The Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and from state and<br />
local taxes under comparable laws.<br />
[2] Financial reporting:<br />
(a) Basis of accounting:<br />
The accompanying financial statements of the Organization have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting and conform to<br />
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to not-for-profit entities.<br />
(b) Cash equivalents:<br />
For financial-presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents include cash invested in highly liquid money-market accounts.<br />
(c) Functional allocation of expenses:<br />
The cost of providing the various programs and supporting services has been summarized on a functional basis in the accompanying<br />
statements of activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services in reasonable<br />
ratios determined by management.<br />
(d) Use of estimates:<br />
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make<br />
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from<br />
those estimates.<br />
(e) Net assets:<br />
Unrestricted net assets represent those resources for which there are no donor restrictions as to their use. Temporarily restricted<br />
contributions, the requirements of which are met in the year of donation, are reported as unrestricted.<br />
[3] Property and equipment:<br />
Property and equipment are reported at their costs at the dates of acquisition or at their fair values at the dates of donation. Depreciation<br />
of furniture and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five years, and leasehold<br />
improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the underlying lease.<br />
[4] Inventory:<br />
Inventory consists of merchandise available for sale and is valued at the lower of cost or market value. Certain items have<br />
been contributed to inventory and have been recorded at their approximate fair values at the dates of contribution. Included<br />
in inventory are original, one-of-a-kind toy bears, each of which is a designer-costumed, collectible “<strong>Broadway</strong> Bear” that is<br />
to be offered at auction during the next fiscal year.<br />

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)<br />
[5] Accrued vacation:<br />
Accrued vacation is included as an expense and liability in the accompanying financial statements and represents the<br />
Organization’s liability for the cost of unused employee vacation time payable in the event of employee terminations. At<br />
September 30, <strong>2005</strong>, the accrued vacation obligation was estimated to be $32,153.<br />
[6] Deferred revenue:<br />
The revenue from advance ticket sales related to a future year’s event is deferred and recognized as income in the year in<br />
which the performance is held.<br />
[7] Grants payable:<br />
Grant expenses are considered to be incurred at the time of approval for payment by the Board of Directors.<br />
outstanding at the end of each fiscal year are expected to be paid in the following fiscal year.<br />
Grants<br />
[8] Revenue recognition:<br />
Contributions:<br />
Contributions are recorded as revenue upon receipt of cash or unconditional pledges. Contributions are considered<br />
available for unrestricted use unless specifically restricted by the donor. It is the Organization’s policy to sell donated<br />
investments upon receipt.<br />
Volunteers:<br />
A substantial number of unpaid volunteers have made significant contributions of their time to the Organization.<br />
The value of this contributed time does not meet the criteria for recognition of contributed services required under<br />
generally accepted accounting principles and, accordingly, is not included in the accompanying financial statements.<br />
Special events:<br />
The Organization conducts special events for which the use of the theater may be donated and the performers and<br />
support staff donate their time. A portion of the gross proceeds paid by the attendees represents payment for the direct<br />
cost of the benefits received by the attendees at the event. Unless a verifiable, objective means exists to demonstrate<br />
otherwise, the fair value of entertainment provided at these special events is measured at the cost to the Organization.<br />
The special event income is reported net of the direct costs of the event that are attributable to the benefit that the<br />
donor receives.<br />
Merchandise sales:<br />
The Organization operates a retail outreach program that sells <strong>AIDS</strong>-awareness red-ribbon items; items crafted by<br />
workshops sheltered for people living with <strong>AIDS</strong>; and general <strong>Broadway</strong>-show-related memorabilia. Sales are<br />
conducted via a printed catalog and on-line through the Organization’s website.<br />
[9] Reclassification:<br />
Certain financial statement information for fiscal-year 2004 has been reclassified to conform with the fiscal-year <strong>2005</strong><br />
presentation.<br />
