A Standing Ovation For Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS

We want to take more than a moment to thank Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS for the amazingly generous support the organization has given to The Actors Fund over the course of its history. Our largest supporter, BC/EFA’s Board of Directors marked our ongoing relationship at its October 3rd Board of Directors Meeting, celebrating the $4,014,500 granted to The Fund during BC/EFA’s 2011 fiscal year (which ended September 30th). The money supports numerous Actors Fund programs, including the HIV/AIDS Initiative, Phyllis Newman Women’s Health Initiative, Al Hirschfeld Free Health Clinic, Actors Fund Work Program, The Dancers’ Resource, Stage Managers’ Project.

We’d also like to thank a few people who aren’t in the photo, including BC/EFA President Paul Libin, the BC/EFA management team and the theatrical community–all of whom work together to make BC/EFA’s – and The Actors Fund’s – programs possible!
