Broadway Bares raise $1.8 million to fight HIV
Broadway Bares/Equity Fights AIDS is a non-profit organisation founded in 1992. This is a theatrical community that cares about the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic.
In honour of the 30th anniversary of the fight against HIV, in just one night, more than 170 talented actors, dancers and circus performers were able to fundraise a total of $1,890,000 for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BCEFA) reports Poz.com.
This year’s show was a return to in-person performance, with the previous two years being held online due to COVID-19.
Covering the past 30 years of Broadway Bares, the show revisited hit numbers from the past three decades - with 90s dance beats, superheroes, greek mythology and Disney classics.
Two of the largest donations, at $200,000 each, were from the MAC AIDS Foundation and Broadway Bares superfan Dwight Curry.
