4 HOW A DOLLAR MAKES A DIFFERENCE Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is the nation s leading i ndustry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organization. BC/EFA is the ongoing, committed response from the American theatre community to an urgent worldwide health crisis. By drawing upon the talents, resources and generosity of this community, BC/EFA raises funds for AIDS-related causes across the United States. Since its founding in 1988, BC/EFA has raised over $85 million for critically needed services for people with AIDS, HIV or HIV-related illnesses, and their families. The fundraising and grant-making success of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is the result of tens of thousands of gestures of generosity that come together as one phenomenal show of support. This is never more apparent than in the audience appeals done twice a year for two six-week periods by the Broadway, off-broadway and national touring shows prior to the annual Gypsy of the Year and Easter Bonnet Competitions. Here is how a single dollar becomes what in 2004 was a record-breaking $6.7* million campaign. A theatergoer is moved by the curtain speech made by a member of the cast after the curtain call. In support of BC/EFA 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 DOLLAR into the collection buckets manned by other members of the company and BC/EFA volunteers. In an average Broadway house of 1,800, this means the following: one generous gesture $ 1 the amount raised at one performance $ 1,800 there are 8 performances a week (x 8) $ 14, other shows are making the same appeal (x 34) $ 489,600 appeals are made for six weeks (x 6) $ 2,937,0600 twice a year (x 2) $ 5,875,200 Audience appeals are the backbone of BC/EFA s yearly fundraising efforts. Of course, money is raised in other ways: through direct mail and major donor campaigns, corporate sponsorships, merchandise sales, CareTix and CareCards, as well as from ticket sales for one-time special events. Together all of these efforts allowed BC/EFA to raise over $13 million in FY But without a doubt, the foundation of this success is built on audience appeals or to be more specific, the thousands of times one person reaches into pocket or purse and drops $1 in a volunteer s bucket. * Note: FY 2004 will forever be known as the Year of Hugh Jackman in THE BOY FROM OZ. During both this fiscal year s GYPSY OF THE YEAR and EASTER BONNET Competitions, Hugh led his exuberant cast in raising $632,998 and $539,058 during these two six-week periods for a truly grand total of $1,172,056. This is certainly the most any one show has ever raised in a single year and in no small way accounts for the record-breaking success of this year s two appeal periods. Cast members from The Producers in the lobby of the St. James Theatre; Hugh Jackman led the way as the company of The Boy from Oz raised $1,172,056 for BC/EFA in just one season; scores of cast members and BC/EFA volunteers held buckets like this during two six-week appeal periods; cast members from Hairspray in the lobby of The Neil Simon. how a dollar makes a difference 2

5 A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT MAY 2005 Dear Friends, The fiscal year ending September 30, 2004, was another banner year for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. The amount of money raised in support of our cause grew by an unprecedented 27 percent over the previous year from $10.6 million in 2003 to $13.6 million this year! This phenomenal increase in the success of our fundraising efforts solidifies Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids position as the leading industry-based AIDS fundraising and grant-making organization in the United States. More importantly, it provides greater resources from which we are able to support major social service programs for industry professionals at The Actor s Fund of America and distribute to direct service providers at more than 500 AIDS service organizations throughout the country through our National Grants Program. Funding cuts in federal programs across the board make the ongoing financial support of Broadway Cares more important than ever to those organizations on the front lines of providing care for those in need. We take great pride in representing the commitment of the American theatre community in addressing these needs. I remain awestruck by the incredible amount of cooperation we receive from countless individuals, corporations and industry professionals who make our success a reality. In addition to the actors making audience appeals on our behalf, we rely on the dedication and tireless efforts of stage managers, stagehands, ushers, wardrobe personnel and company managers, to name but a few. We also count on the philanthropic support of corporations and individuals as well as the continued goodwill of the ticket-buying public at large who have supported our programs this year. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude and congratulations to the BC/EFA trustees and to the entire BC/EFA staff for all of the dedicated teamwork that went into making 2004 a benchmark year. We, the board, staff and volunteers of BC/EFA appreciate your taking the time to read about our accomplishments in this report. I hope you take as much pride as I do in realizing what a tremendous difference we were able to make together!

6 A LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MAY 2005 July, 2005 Dear Friends: I am very happy and proud to report that FY 2004 (October 1, 2003 September 30, 2004) was the most successful year of fundraising and grant-making in Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS history. If I were an artist I would work in collage. The staff around here laughs because soon after an event I like to find the time to put up as they say another one of his collages made up of dozens of event photos of all sizes and all overlapping on the cupboards in the kitchen. There is something about taking in so much at once - seeing how every piece becomes a part of the whole. How a shot of the biggest, most colorful scene, when taped next to one of an almost incidental moment (not nearly as bright), creates something new and unique when seen side-by-side. The blur of images, this smattering of colors becomes in total more than any one shot could by itself. It moves. I go on like this because, in my heart I know that BC/EFA is at its best, its strongest and its most useful a collage. Members of every union and non-union members. Folks who have been in the business for decades, someone who just landed their first job. Major donors and corporate sponsors as well as the 13-year-old girl from Long Island who sent us a bundle of checks totaling a couple hundred bucks from her bat mitzvah and the senior citizen in Florida who forwarded a $15 check from the direct mail appeal and jots shakily on the response card, I wish it could be more. BC/EFA is audience appeals that raise millions from the efforts of over 50 Broadway, off-broadway, and national touring shows and the high school drama club teacher who sends us a check for $322 donated in cash by his cast of Our Town. Stars, writers, directors, choreographers, gypsies, actors and those most dear to my heart, stage managers. All the folks working behind the scenes, front of house and in the pit who in being willing for six weeks, twice a year to leave the theatre 15 minutes later than usual make our invaluable audience appeals possible. Producers and theatre owners who give permission ; press agents who ask ; company managers who make it work within a labyrinth of rules ; concessionaires who turn a generous blind eye and another favorite group, the doormen and women who welcome us, delivering messages, requests and all those signed posters. Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS exists, to quote a masterful writer, because of each and every one. It is this blur of enthusiasm, generosity, good behavior, and idiosyncrasies that is both BC/EFA s great blessing and subtle strength. What follows are many facts and figures. Lists, charts and graphs, as well as lots of event pictures and photos of the people and organizations you ve helped BC/EFA assist. These are our shared history. Someday, someone will call it our shared legacy. But don t be lulled into feeling too good. These are difficult days. The fabric of our social safety net, built of over decades of bi-partisan political action, is today being deliberately frayed at the same time we find more and more individuals and families across our nation in crisis and need. I could write a second letter about those in power who choose to exclude rather than embrace, those eager to demonize others in order to ensure power from the unquestioning. Those who hoard rather than share, spin rather than tell the truth. Smirk rather than smile. But that is not for now. Now, I close simply with this: Thank you. I particularly want to express my deep appreciation to BC/EFA s Trustees who watch our back and to the BC/EFA staff who make up its muscle and spine. From our major sponsors to each individual donor - for being a part of BC/EFA s unique collage you have my heartfelt gratitude. And to more accurately quote the brilliant Charles Dickens... God bless us; every one!

7 THE BC/EFA S GRANT-MAKING HISTORY EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS was founded in October 1987 by the Council of Actors Equity Association. Money raised through the efforts of Equity theatre companies across the country was specifically earmarked for The Actors Fund AIDS Initiative. BROADWAY CARES was founded in February 1988 by members of The Producers Group. Money raised was earmarked to be awarded to AIDS service organizations across the country, including Equity Fights AIDS. In May 1992, BROADWAY CARES and EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS merged to become BROADWAY CARES/EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS. The Board of Trustees of this newly established not-for-profit fundraising organization assumed the missions of the previously separate organizations and continues to fund the social service work of The Actors Fund and to award grants twice a year to AIDS and family service organizations nationwide. Unlike most other nonprofit grant-making organizations, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS must raise every single dollar of our philanthropic budget each year in order to fulfill our grant-making mission. In turn, BC/EFA works hard to ensure that the money raised is spent carefully and wisely on programs both at The Actors Fund and at hundreds of social service agencies across the country where these hard-earned dollars can have maximum impact. An impressive 76 cents of every dollar raised by BC/EFA goes directly towards these causes. BC/EFA s grant-making has two emphases. The first is The Actors Fund of America. BC/EFA currently supports six major programs at The Fund, each of which provides social services, case management and emergency financial assistance to entertainment industry professionals and performing artists who are in crisis or dealing with a variety of problems including HIV/AIDS. The National Grants Program is our second major grant making effort. Through this program BC/EFA makes grants to hundreds of community-based AIDS and family service organizations across the country. A detailed description of how we distribute funds and the programs we support is contained in the following pages.

8 THE ACTORS FUND OF AMERICA The Actors Fund of America provides for the welfare of all who earn their living through employment in the entertainment industry. The stage manager, dancer or theatrical press agent with AIDS and no health insurance, the actor looking to make a transition into a second career, the retired costume designer having difficulty living on social security and unclear about his Medicaid benefits, the stage carpenter, company manager or actress facing a crisis around an issue of addiction, the musician in need of supportive housing all are part of the entertainment industry and all can find assistance through The Actors Fund. The Actors Fund continues the industry tradition of taking care of its own, forged more than a century ago when attitudes of prejudice against people in show business prevailed. The Actors Fund served as a catalyst for reducing that discrimination and integrating theatre professionals into the social, political, and economic aspects of their communities. Through its partnership with The Actors Fund, BC/EFA touches the lives of thousands of entertainment professionals living with HIV/AIDS, as well as those coping with a variety of other health issues and life challenges. THE AIDS INITIATIVE The collaboration between BC/EFA and The Actors Fund s AIDS Initiative is a model for how an industry can respond with effectiveness and compassion to the AIDS crisis. The AIDS Initiative provides a full spectrum of essential supportive services, including emergency financial assistance (for basic necessities such as rent, food, health insurance, and non-reimbursable medical expenses); case management referrals to other sources of community and public assistance, benefits advocacy, vocational retraining, counseling, and support groups for people with HIV/AIDS and their partners, families, and caregivers. Of the $3,392,000 awarded to The Actors Fund by BC/EFA in 2004, $1,151,335 was distributed as direct financial assistance to 552 clients living with HIV/AIDS in 22 states through Actors Fund offices in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Of this, $484,373 (42%) was provided for rent payments and $366,293 (32%) for health insurance payments. In addition to underwriting direct financial assistance, BC/EFA s total AIDS Initiative grant of $2,100,000 supports personnel, administrative costs, volunteer needs and other expenses associated with client case management. the actors fund of america 6

BUT BC/EFA HELPED TAKE THAT FEAR AWAY AND, THROUGH THE ACTORS FUND AIDS INITIATIVE, GAVE US IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OUR RIGHTS, BENEFITS AND OPTIONS THAT MADE DEALING WITH THE ILLNESS AND ULTIMATELY THE EMOTIONAL PAIN OF LOSING HIM POSSIBLE TO BEAR. ACTORS FUND AIDS INITIATIVE CLIENT IN MY WILDEST DREAMS, I COULD NEVER HAVE IMAGINED SUCH AN OUTSTANDING AND SUPPORTIVE PARTNERSHIP AS BC/EFA AND THE ACTORS FUND AIDS INITIATIVE.

The effectiveness of protease inhibitors, available since 1996, has had major service implications as The AIDS Initiative shifts from helping people with a fatal disease to assisting those with a chronic, manageable one. In the past, The AIDS Initiative often prepared clients, even asymptomatic ones, for a more dependent level of functioning a change that would most likely be imminent for HIV+ individuals. Advances in treatment allow many to now focus on preparing for independence by helping them build their skills and learn more about the supportive network that can help them remain highly functional. the actors fund of america 7

10 I AM DEEPLY GRATEFUL FOR THE EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE. I HAVE SPENT MOST OF MY ADULT LIFE IN THE THEATRE AND HAVE FOUND SO MANY IN THE PROFESSION TO BE COMPASSIONATE AND CARING, EAGER TO ASSIST IN TIMES OF TROUBLE. YOUR SUPPORT HAS HELPED ME TO RESTORE MY DIGNITY. ACTORS FUND AIDS INITIATIVE CLIENT This change, however, has had a profound effect on the number of clients served by The AIDS Initiative. Over the past ten years, from , The Actors Fund AIDS Initiative has experienced a dramatic decrease in the number of AIDS-related deaths, from almost 50% of its clients in 1994 to 5% in While that is encouraging news, the battle is far from over. During this same time, the number of AIDS Initiative clients has more than doubled from 216 in 1994 to 552 in 2004, including many new clients. BC/EFA funding represents 70% of The AIDS Initiative s budget. BC/EFA continues to work closely with The Actors Fund to provide leadership, coalition building, and the fundraising necessary to keep the promise that we will take care of our own for as long as AIDS is with us AIDS INITIATIVE CLIENT ENROLLMENT NUMBER OF CLIENTS PERCENTAGE actors equity* % sag* % aftra* % non-union % agma-agva 53 10% iatse 32 6% local 802 musicians 19 3% united scenic artists, wardrobe, directors guild, writers guild, dramatists guild, and ssd&c 27 5% total clients in *based on multiple membership COMPARISON OF 2003/2004 CLIENT ENROLLMENT EASTERN WESTERN MIDWEST TOTAL TOTAL CLIENTS new cases GENDER male female FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE EASTERN WESTERN MIDWEST TOTAL $857,661 $273,918 $19,756 $1,151,335 the actors fund of america 8

11 PHYLLIS NEWMAN WOMEN S HEALTH INITIATIVE The Actors Fund established the Phyllis Newman Women s Health Initiative (PNWHI) in 1996 to provide a safety net for women in the entertainment industry coping with critical health concerns. The Women s Health Initiative dedicates a range of resources solely to addressing the health needs and concerns specific to women, providing direct services and financial assistance to many women who are often without health insurance. In 2004, the Initiative helped 356 clients confront breast, cervical and ovarian cancers, domestic violence, chemical dependency, mental health concerns, and other conditions. The comprehensive nature of the Women s Health Initiative s case management approach encompasses employment, economic, and other factors that impact each client s ability to fight for her health with maximum success. Caseworkers are effective at helping women deal with difficulties triggered by medical conditions and the subsequent challenges around financial, psychological and family issues. They also stay involved with clients on an ongoing basis and provide the support and referrals they need to best cope with these pressing issues. Counselors offer vital assistance in treatment and recovery, applying for benefits, filing insurance claims, coordinating childcare, and devising financial plans. Support groups offered by PNWHI provide a place where women can come together to offer and receive support around issues ranging from managing chronic physical and mental health conditions to aging in the industry, as well as anti-violence and family issues. The Women s HIV Outreach and Education Program offers comprehensive services for women in the entertainment industry concerned about safer sex, HIV, or other sexually transmitted diseases. In addition, the Women s Health Initiative provides an extensive resource library, and access to a vast network of women s healthcare providers, research studies, and other resources. In 2004, PNWHI clients received social services ranging from case management to individual counseling, to assistance in applying for benefits and coordinating childcare, and were provided with $219,000 in essential financial assistance. An impressive 227 mammograms and 104 gynecological exams were provided at no charge to women in in the business without adequate health insurance at The Actors Fund s Hirschfeld Free Clinic at The Aurora on West 57th Street and Tenth Avenue. BC/EFA provided $450,000 to support the Phyllis Newman Women s Health Initiative in fiscal year 2004 up from $210,500 in HAPPILY THE MAMMOGRAM WAS NEGATIVE. NOW THAT I AM EMPLOYED, PLEASE ACCEPT THE ENCLOSED AS A DONATION TO HELP ANOTHER WOMAN HAVE A MAMMOGRAM. THANK YOU FOR FUNDING SUCH A WONDERFUL SERVICE. NO ONE SHOULD USE LACK OF INSURANCE AS A REASON NOT TO BE EXAMINED. ACTORS FUND WOMEN S HEALTH INITIATIVE CLIENT the actors fund of america 9

12 THE AL HIRSCHFELD FREE HEALTH CLINIC In a situation similar to one that took place in 1987, when The Actors Fund created The AIDS Initiative in concert with the establishment of funding support from Equity Fight AIDS, in 2003 The Actors Fund established The Al Hirschfeld Free Health Clinic with an initial grant of $300,000 from Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Dedicated to the memory of the famed Broadway caricaturist who died in January 2002 just short of his 100th birthday, The Hirschfeld Free Health Clinic was initially located in three small offices on the 2nd floor of The Aurora, adjacent to The Colleen Dewhurst Community Rooms. In 2004, BC/EFA provided an outright grant of $325,000 to The Actors Fund for the operation of The Hirschfeld Clinic. 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 the 4th floor of The Aurora Residence where it now occupies a suite of offices and examination rooms taking up half the entire floor. This expansion enables Dr. Jim Spears and his staff to serve double the number of clients who otherwise would lack access to adequate medical care. The Hirschfeld Clinic was launched to address the very clear, immediate needs of members of the entertainment community who are uninsured or underinsured. People who work in the entertainment industry have a high-uninsured rate. They work in uncertain careers and may not make medical care a priority, ignoring symptoms, concealing diagnoses, and putting off treatment. With the contributed services of a corps of physician volunteers under the fulltime direction of Dr. Spears and working in collaboration with the Columbia University College of Physician and Surgeons, The Hirschfeld Clinic provides necessary medical services and works to prevent illness and emergency room visits that result from neglecting health care. The clinic provides primary and specialty care, health screenings, and patient education. Lab testing provided through the clinic is free to uninsured patients. The clinic is open five days a week and has a physician on-call even when closed. Primary care includes routine preventive medical care, ongoing management of medical problems, and urgent sick visits. A primary care doctor provides specialty care following an evaluation. Then a referral is made to a specialist whenever possible, to a volunteer specialist at the clinic. Preventative care includes flu vaccinations, mammograms, prostate exams, breast examinations, tuberculosis and diabetes screening, blood pressure and cholesterol testing, and vision screening. At a series of annual health fairs offered in partnership with New York Presbyterian Hospital and Better Wellness and You (BWAY), the clinic provides diagnostic screenings on a broader scope, including blood glucose levels, blood pressure measurements, blood cholesterol levels, and mammograms to hundreds of health fair participants. The Hirschfeld Clinic physicians are sensitive to these health issues and aware of the warning signs of neglect, malnutrition, substance abuse, and mental health concerns. If needed, eligible patients are also referred to The Actors Fund social service programs, through which they may receive individual counseling, referrals, and financial assistance toward living expenses. Many individuals who receive social services and case management at The Actors Fund first made contact at an initial visit to The Hirschfeld Clinic. BC/EFA considers its support for The Hirschfeld Free Health Clinic to be an important new priority in the catalogue of services offered by The Actors Fund. In 2004, doctors at The Hirschfeld Clinic saw 951 patients, providing a total of 1,716 client visits in such areas as dermatology, family and general medicine, infectious diseases, and internal medicine. the actors fund of america 10

13 THE ACTORS WORK PROGRAM As AIDS Initiative clients with longer life expectancies were shifting their focus from dealing with an immediate critical illness to managing a chronic condition, their needs evolved to include back-to-work issues. With this in mind, the AIDS Training and Education Project (ATEP) of The Actors Work Program (AWP) was created by The Actors Fund in 1998 to prepare AIDS Initiative clients to either return to work or participate in meaningful activity outside the home. Counselors work with clients responding well to protease/anti-viral regimens to help them deal with the important implications of suddenly increased life expectancies, including the challenge of returning to the workplace, both inside and outside the entertainment industry. Many people with AIDS considering a return to the workplace in a non-performing capacity lack the resources necessary to make such a career change. They must also consider the impact such a decision will have on issues such as health insurance and entitlements, as well as the limitations imposed by side effects of their medications. ATEP counselors work with clients to assess their health status, interests, and skills; to design individualized action plans; and to identify appropriate educational, volunteer, and employment opportunities. Counseling, tuition assistance, and referrals to community resources help ATEP clients achieve these goals. BC/EFA supported the Actors Work Program s AIDS Training and Employment Project with $185,000 in 2004 up from $170,000 in AFFORDABLE HOUSING INITIATIVES Recognizing that an affordable, safe, and supportive place to live is the foundation of every person s ability to fight for and maintain his or her health, BC/EFA has been a long-time supporter of The Actors Fund s affordable housing initiatives. From 1997 to 2001, BC/EFA provided $750,000 of support to The Aurora Residence in New York City, a 30-story apartment building providing 178 units of supportive housing for people with HIV/AIDS, seniors, and low-income working professionals. From , BC/EFA provided $250,000 of support to The Palm View Residence in Los Angeles, a 40-unit garden apartment complex that provides low-cost supportive housing to people with AIDS. The Palm View, which also has an on-site resident services coordinator, is a collaborative project between The Actors Fund, the West Hollywood Housing Corporation, Housing for Entertainment Professionals, and funders like BC/EFA. PHYSICIAN VOLUNTEERS FOR THE ARTS Although Physician Volunteers for the Arts has not been a part of the services provided by The Actors Fund since 2002, BC/EFA continues to provide financial assistance for its programs helping the Broadway theatre community. In 2004, a $17,000 grant from BC/EFA helped Dr. Barry Kohn and PVA provide 1,500 flu shots backstage at Broadway shows, in the offices of theatre-related organizations, as well as to seniors and those with compromised health issues at Actors Equity for the general membership. We thank Dr. Kohn for also extending his services to The Actors Fund Home in Englewood, New Jersey, and to clients at New York s Callen- Lorde Community Health Clinic. the actors fund of america 11

14 NATIONAL GRANTS PROGRAM Active since 1987, BC/EFA s National Grants Program has become one of the largest of its kind in the United States. A report published by Funders Concerned About AIDS showed that BC/EFA ranked sixth in the nation in terms of grant dollars disbursed for HIV/AIDS, just behind The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and The Ford Foundation, and ahead of such longstanding philanthropic powerhouses as the Rockefeller Foundation, The New York Community Trust, and the California Endowment, among others. This achievement is a result of the rapid growth in our fundraising, and as a result, in our grant-making, over the past several years. From the outset, BC/EFA s grants program has been fast, simple, and efficient. A concise two-page application allows us to make disbursements twice a year to hundreds of community-based organizations, an unusual feature among top AIDS grant-makers, and one that we have learned over the years is meaningful to relatively small organizations. The majority of these grassroots organizations operate on bare-bones budgets, but still manage to have significant impact on their own communities. The National Grants Program for Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) at BC/EFA attempts to address the ongoing and unmet needs of these AIDS and family service organizations. Because AIDS is not just a single disease, but a combination of epidemics exacerbated by discrimination and poverty, our grants in this category are geared to those organizations that are providing case management, food, housing, transportation, emergency financial assistance, emotional support, and non-reimbursable and emergency medical expenses. In 2004, BC/EFA s National Grants Committee awarded grants totaling $3,235,000 to over 564 AIDS and family service organizations in 49 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico. (See the list of agencies by city and state, beginning on page 16). In 2002, a subset of the National Grants Program, called simply National Grants II, was created to allow BC/EFA to support, at a higher level, organizations serving large metropolitan areas or doing advocacy work that impacts the entire network of AIDS service providers, many of which have received financial support through BC/EFA s longtime grants program for more than a decade. In 2004, BC/EFA awarded an additional $340,000 to 20 nationally recognized AIDS service and advocacy organizations through National Grants II. national grants program 12

Since a large portion of the money raised for BC/EFA comes directly from theatre audiences across America, not just New York, we are committed to assisting the full spectrum of communities affected by AIDS. By making grants to diverse organizations nationwide, BC/EFA is able to give back to those very communities that allow us to create a safety net for those in the entertainment industry through the services of The Actors Fund. Since its founding in 1988 through 2004, over $25 million has been distributed by BC/EFA through its National Grants Programs. The BC/EFA Grants Committee is comprised of individuals representing a diverse range of AIDS service providers and populations affected by AIDS, as well as members of the theatrical fundraising family. national grants program 13

33 INTERNATIONAL GRANTS Over the last few years, a number of Broadway shows originating overseas or with foreign-born actors in their casts have participated generously in BC/EFA s six weeks of audience appeals prior to the Gypsy of the Year and Easter Bonnet Competitions. In appreciation of their enthusiastic efforts, BC/EFA grants a portion of the funds raised by these companies to AIDS service organizations in their native countries. These foreign charities are chosen and introduced to BC/EFA by the company members involved. Once their charitable status has been officially established by BC/EFA, a grant in the name of the company is wired overseas. The first of these international grants was a $5,000 donation made by BC/EFA to West End Cares (renamed Theatrecares in 2002), our sister theatre-based AIDS fundraising organization in London. This grant honored the Royal Shakespeare Company s production of A Midsummer Night s Dream that participated in the 1996 Easter Bonnet Competition while playing an acclaimed limited engagement at Broadway s Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Since then, many performers from Broadway companies originating in London have very generously participated in BC/EFA s fundraising efforts. These include: Sir Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren (The Dance of Death), Dame Judi Dench and Samantha Bond (Amy s View), Petula Clark (the national tour of Sunset Boulevard), Sian Phillips (An Inspector Calls and Marlene), Alan Cumming and Natasha Richardson (Cabaret), Patrick Stewart (The Tempest), Elaine Page (Sunset Boulevard), Antony Sher (Stanley), as well as the companies of Closer, Swan Lake, Art, An Ideal Husband, The Chairs, and Blood Brothers. BC/EFA has also granted funds in the name of producers Bill Kenwright and Sir Cameron Mackintosh for their committed and ongoing support. Grants have also been made to The Actors Fund of Canada in honor of the Canadian actors in the first national touring company of Mamma Mia!, Oz Showbiz Cares in honor Hugh Jackman in The Boy from Oz and Baz Luhrmann s Broadway production of La Bohème, and Theatrecares Crusaid in honor of Clare Higgins, Jochum Ten Haaf, and the cast of Vincent in Brixton. In 2004, BC/EFA sent grants totaling $262,894. The International grant-making program has expanded over the past eight years, most notably in grants made to AIDS service organizations in South Africa in appreciation for the efforts of the South African members of the Broadway and touring productions of The Lion King. international grants 31

35 EVENTS Thanks to the commitment of the celebrities and other vital members of the theatrical community who devote countless hours to our cause, BC/EFA not only raises desperately needed funds for the organizations, foundations and individuals nationwide who depend on our support, but does it in a way that s fun for our supporters. The following pages present the highlights of a year of BC/EFA fundraising events, from October 1, 2003, through September 30, The Gypsy of the Year and Easter Bonnet Competitions are the mainstays of the BC/EFA event roster and together raised a record-breaking $6.7 million this year! Both events mark the culmination of an intensive six-week fundraising campaign on Broadway, off-broadway, and by the many national touring shows traveling across the country. Three other events loom almost as large on our yearly calendar: The Broadway Flea Market and Grand Auction, The Broadway Bears Auction, and Broadway Bares. The oldest of these is the Broadway Flea Market, which began as a table sale outside the stage door of A Chorus Line in Shubert Alley in the fall of In June 2004, we hosted our 14th Broadway Bares, which began as seven dancers cavorting for cash on a bar in New York s Chelsea neighborhood and has become one of the most anticipated AIDS fundraisers one many donors plan their summer travel schedule around. The Broadway Bears Auction may be the baby of our major events, but it has grown like a weed or should we say a bear. The creative enthusiasm brought to The Broadway Bears by the wardrobe and costume design community has earned it a yearly home at BC/EFA since In addition to our annual events, each year brings a collection of special fundraisers of every size and variety. The following pages also feature 2004 s high-profile one-time only events: Heather Headley s acclaimed concert at The New Amsterdam Theatre, a staged reading of Auntie Mame by Charles Busch and an all-star cast at the John Jay College Theater, and The Broadway Inspirational Voices Gospel Celebration. All of these events are supported by many smaller events produced every year to benefit BC/EFA by individuals in the community that are not represented on the following pages special cabaret performances, dance presentations, club shows, concerts, and much more. Each one is an important part of our annual fundraising calendar. Whether appearing with a hundred others in a bonnet presentation at the New Amsterdam Theatre or in a solo for an audience of twenty in a quiet club on the Upper West Side, by volunteering their time and talent, these dedicated entertainment professionals make BC/EFA s grant-making efforts possible. The casts of Fiddler on the Roof and Avenue Q came together to present Avenue Jew the award-winning skit at The Easter Bonnet Competition; cast members from Mamma Mia! at The Broadway Flea Market; Avenue Q s John Tartaglia and Rod in rare bare form at Broadway Bares. events 33

36 14TH ANNUAL GYPSY OF THE YEAR COMPETITION DECEMBER 8 AND 9, 2003 THE PALACE THEATRE BROADWAY An extremely strong Broadway season helped push the 2003 edition of our annual Gypsy of the Year Competition to a whopping grand total of $3,359,533, with 58 Broadway, off-broadway, and touring shows participating in vigorous fundraising efforts. The Boy From Oz and its star Hugh Jackman led the charge, bringing in an all-time record-breaking $632,998, substantially more money than any other show in BC/EFA history has raised in one six-week appeal period (nearly doubling Hairspray s record-breaking numbers from 2002). Runners-up in fundraising included Hairspray with $303,024, The Phantom of the Opera with $155,964, Gypsy with $147,366 and Mamma Mia! with $133,286. The Broadway play that raised the most money was The Retreat from Moscow with $56,291, and the off- Broadway winner was Fame on 42nd Street, which raised $18,004. The top fundraiser among touring companies was the Mamma Mia! #2 tour, which brought in $154,325. Tony Award -winner Jackman, Gypsy s Mama Rose Bernadette Peters, and Hairspray s original Edna, Harvey Fierstein, announced the winners. Gypsy of the Year is about more than fundraising. It s an opportunity for Broadway s chorus men and women many of whom are destined for headlining roles to step into the spotlight and strut their stuff on a single stage. The 2003 awards were hosted by the droll duo of The Violet Hour s Mario Cantone and Gypsy s You Gotta Have a Gimmick girl Julie Halston. Show highlights included the cast of Mamma Mia! in The Winter Garden Showchoir Strikes Back ; The Producers Matt Loehr, who choreographed and performed an athletic solo number Break-Through You ; the cast of Little Shop of Horrors offered James Lipton or a hilarious impersonation by Rob Bartlett interviewing Audrey II in a special edition of Inside the Actors Studio ; the unstoppable Lypsinka gave the audience a special holiday treat with The 12 Daze of Christmas; and cast members from Broadway s delightful Avenue Q presented an original number, In Our Neighborhood. Past and current members of the long-running off- Broadway hit Naked Boys Singing came together to sing Dreams, written by Stephen Bates Baltes, who had recently passed away from AIDS-related complications. Producer Rosie O Donnell made a special appearance with her cast from Taboo. The distinguished panel of judges included Delta Burke (who had recently made her Broadway debut in Thoroughly Modern Millie), Ted Chapin of the Rodgers and Hammerstein Organization, as well as BC/EFA major donors Judy Dove, Barbara Ann Klein and Marion Duckworth-Smith. These judges, along with Jujamcyn VP and BC/EFA President Paul Libin, Priscilla Lopez (Anna in the Tropics) and Ned Walker of loyal BC/EFA corporate sponsor Continental Airlines chose a dance number by the cast of Aida as winner of the Judges Award for Best Presentation, with Urinetown, in its competitive swansong, a close runner-up. (clockwise) Rob Bartlett interviews Audrey II in a special edition of Inside the Actors' Studio, as brought to you by the cast of Little Shop of Horrors; the opening number created by Christopher Gattelli, Seth Rudetsky, Matt Sklar, and Bill Ryall; The Producers Matt Loehr choreographed and performed an athletic solo number, Break-Through You ; a surprise appearance by Urinetown s Officer Lockstock and Little Sally gentle, as ever; the cast of Mamma Mia! in The Winter Garden Showchoir Strikes Back. events 34

37 GYPSY OF THE YEAR TOTALS THROUGH HISTORY: 1989 $ 64, $ 92, $ 205, $ 445, $ 707, $ 802, $ 1,213, $ 1,262, $ 1,325, $ 1,751, $ 2,074, $ 2,056, $ 2,037, $ 2,623, $ 3,359,533 TOTAL: $ 20,015,533 MAKING HISTORY: GYPSY OF THE YEAR In the fall of 1989, the Broadway Cares steering committee met to discuss what new event might be jointly produced by the then two separate organizations, Broadway Cares and Equity Fights AIDS, that would capitalize on the shared success of the two groups most recent collaboration, that year s Broadway Flea Market. While these two groups were three years away from a formal merger (which ultimately took place in May 1992), already it was clear that sharing revenue and resources was the future of AIDS fundraising in the theatre community. The group kept coming back to the success of the then three-year-old Easter Bonnet Competition. What would engage the Broadway community in another round of competitive fundraising that could also culminate in a variety show? Ideas were tossed back and forth across the committee table, but the group kept coming back to one: an afternoon to give gypsies a moment in the spotlight. The very first Gypsy of the Year Competition debuted on the stage of the St. James Theatre then home to the smash hit revival of Gypsy on November 28, Hosted by Gypsy stars Jonathan Hadary and Tyne Daly, directed by Michael Lichtefeld and produced by Maria Di Dia for Broadway Cares and Tom Viola for Equity Fights AIDS, the show featured gypsies from A Chorus Line, Black and Blue, Cats, Grand Hotel, Gypsy, Jerome Robbins Broadway, Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Sweeney Todd, Threepenny Opera, as well as representatives from The Heidi Chronicles, Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, and The Lady in Question. This fledgling event raised over $64,000. Everyone was thrilled. Over the next 16 years, new choreographers emerged from the ranks, and the quality of the events continued to improve. Audiences grew and a second performance was added, as Gypsy became one of the most sought-after tickets of the season. The casts from many more shows participated, fundraising efforts doubled, tripled and increased ten-fold. By the 7th annual edition, the $1 million dollar mark was broken for total fundraising a goal unthinkable even five years before. Four years later in 1999 a sold out audience of over 1,600 people at the Palace Theatre cheered when it was announced that the $2 million fundraising total had been reached for the first time. This year s GYPSY OF THE YEAR raised a phenomenal $3,359,533 over 50 times more than that first edition in 1989, when we swung the doors open at the St. James, hoping and working for the best. (left to right) A faux Kristin Chenoweth (aka Tia Marie Zorne) made a 'surprise' appearance in the Beauty and the Beast presentation; the opening number featured four veteran gypsies Jennifer Smith, Harvey Evans, Patty Mariano, and Dana Moore; the number s grand final pose; Hugh Jackman and the phenomenal company of The Boy From Oz. events 35

38 THE 18TH ANNUAL EASTER BONNET COMPETITION APRIL 19 AND The 18th Annual Easter Bonnet Competition presented once again at Disney s beautiful New Amsterdam Theatre raised a record-breaking $3,439,075 for BC/EFA in six busy weeks of fundraising. A total of 44 theatrical companies participated in this fundraising success, with 23 Broadway shows bringing in a collective $2,694,372. Fourteen national tours came in with $667,821 and seven off-broadway shows raised a total $84,986 to make the truly grand total of $3,439,075. Last year s Bonnet competition raised $2,149,744. The top fundraising award went to The Boy From Oz, which brought in an amazing $539,058, part of an unprecedented total of $1,172,056 raised by this company for BC/EFA in just the first six months of its run. First runner-up was The Producers ($368,050), followed by Hairspray ($217,813), Wicked ($158,496), and Gypsy ($149,595). Finally, although there wasn t a fifth runner-up award, our bonnets go off to the Broadway company of The Phantom of the Opera, which raised $123,633 through a combination of audience appeals and a labor-intensive effort of signing and selling 2,200 posters for $40 each. Additional fundraising prizes were given to the Broadway play that raised the most money, Golda s Balcony ($78,654), the top-earning Off-Broadway production, Fame on 42nd Street ($21,882), and the most successful national tour, Mamma Mia! ($151,829). This year s opening number featured a take-off of Come On, Get Happy, rewritten as Come On, Get Hatty by Drew Geraci and Seth Rudetsky. Choreographed by Denis Jones, directed by Geraci and with musical direction by Steve Marzullo, Get Hatty featured 16 of Broadway s best dancers and (offstage) another 11 outstanding vocalists. Our very own Ziegfeld girl Doris Eaton Travis made her 7th appearance for BC/EFA on stage at The New Amsterdam, where she first appeared over 80 years ago in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1918, 1919 and After joining the dancers in a conga, Doris was surprised with a special cake marking her 100th birthday in March and received a standing ovation from the cheering house in honor of her gracious heart and grand spirit. Two highlights of the show included Funny, Fast and Flawless the bonnet from 42nd Street and Aida s Deborah Cox along with several male dancers from Aida presenting their bonnet accompanied by Deborah s remixed dance version of Easy As Life. A Fab bonnet presented by the boys from the company of Movin Out and the Star Child bonnet presented by The Phantom of the Opera were other crowd pleasers. Best bonnet presentation was awarded to Avenue Q and Fiddler on the Roof, who joined forces to present a skit entitled Avenue Jew. The Producers claimed second prize in this category for a skit about gay marriage, which included a parody of Stephen Sondheim s A truly grand, record-breaking total; stars of A Raisin in the Sun Sean Combs and Audra McDonald joined Harvey Fierstein in announcing the fundraising winners; Temptation the bonnet from The Lion King; Still in character as the former Israeli Prime Minister, Tovah Feldshuh came by from Golda s Balcony (her one-woman show about Golda Meir at the Helen Hayes Theatre) to offer Golda s interpretation of Let Me Entertain You. events 36

ONCE UPON A BONNET: EASTER BONNET HISTORY The precursor to the first Easter Bonnet Competition was an informal show instigated by wardrobe supervisor Gayle Patton in 1986 backstage at the Palace Theatre during the original Broadway run of La Cage aux Folles. La Cage cast members dressed for a contest in which they were judged in the categories Poise, Personality, and Talent. The company voted by stuffing dollar bills into jars marked for each contestant. $1,200 was raised and donated to the then fledging AIDS service organization Gay Men s Health Crisis. By 1990 the Easter Bonnet Competition had become the Broadway community s premier AIDS fundraising event with funds now going to Broadway Cares. Produced by Susanne Ishee and a host of dedicated volunteers for its first eight years, the Easter Bonnet returned to the Palace Theatre in 1995 where it was produced for the first time by BC/EFA. In 1998, the show moved to the gloriously renovated New Amsterdam Theatre, its home ever since. Eighteen years and over 380 bonnets later, BC/EFA s Easter Bonnet Competition is one of New York City s most popular annual events and has raised over $22,678,662 all still based on a whole lot of Poise, Personality, and Talent. (clockwise) Our very own Ziegfeld girl - Doris Eaton Travis - made her 7th appearance with us on stage at The New Amsterdam, where she first appeared in the Ziegfeld Follies of 1918, 1919 and 1920; Deborah Cox, starring as Aida, along with the boys from Aida, presented their bonnet to Deborah's remixed dance version of Easy As Life ; the cast of Naked Boys Singing! nearly naked and, of course, singing; the bonnet from off-broadway s Menopause, the Musical. events 37

40 BROADWAY BEARS VI FEBRUARY 15, 2004 Theater fans and teddy bear collectors came together on February 15, 2004, for Broadway Bears VII: A Grand Auction an event featuring a cuddly chorus line of 40 one-of-a-kind teddy bears, each meticulously outfitted in original, handmade costumes by Broadway s leading costume designers and representing memorable characters from plays and musicals, past and present. Auctioned off to the highest bidders, the bears raised $127,210 for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Bryan Batt hosted and BC/EFA stalwart Lorna Kelly served as auctioneer for the seventh edition of this growing Broadway tradition. Celebrity presenters and audience members included Lucy Arnaz, Bebe Neuwirth, Mary Bond Davis, Michael McGowan and Christine Pedi.

This year s auction raised an impressive $127,000, bringing the cumulative grand total of money raised since 1998 s original auction to just under $1 million. The skill and imagination devoted to the creation of these coveted collectibles has been recognized worldwide, from The Museum of The City of New York where 10 bear alumni reside as part of the permanent costume collection to media acclaim as far away as England and Japan. In addition, noted designers such as Bob Mackie have created original bears for these auctions. For this year s auction, Mackie designed Lorelei bear, based on Carol Channing s lovable gold digger in the musical Lorelei and signed by Miss Channing. BC/EFA is very grateful to the creative and talented artists who designed, outfitted, costumed, draped, frocked, dressed, shod, hatted, painted, armored, tattooed, stuffed, lipoed, wigged, bejeweled and feathered the Broadway Bears and in doing so created truly one-of-a-kind, museum-quality pieces for auction.

41 BROADWAY BARES XIV JUNE 20, 2004 Broadway Bares 14: Now Showing, the 2004 version of the spectacular that grins and bares it, brought in $525,000 for BC/EFA, $18,000 of which was collected in sweaty dollar bills tucked into the sparkling g-strings worn by 200 of Broadway s hottest dancers. This success tops our total from 2003 by a whopping $75,000, and culminates in a grand total of $2,825,000 raised since the event s first edition in Every year for 14 years, Broadway Bares creator and original director/choreographer, Jerry Mitchell, has convinced a group of Broadway professionals to take it off for a good cause. Titillating titles from past years included The Barest Show on Earth, Peep Show, Calendar Girl, A Comic Strip, 2001: A Strip Odyssey, and Knock, Knock: Who s Bare. Broadway Bares 14, which took over Roseland Ballroom on June 20, was directed by Mitchell s protégé, Jodi Moccia, and choreographed by Moccia and a stellar dance team. Broadway Bares 14 took on the movies, featuring dance sequences inspired by Flashdance, Rocky, James Bond, Chariots of Fire, and even a moment from Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? Antigravity performed a skit based on Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon appropriately renamed Crotching Tiger, Hidden Dragon featuring an acrobatic appearance by gymnast and dancer Matthew Cusick. Hollywood s golden days were honored in Going Bananas, which blended the comedy of the Marx Brothers with outrageous costumes and dance moves inspired by Carmen Miranda. Special guests included Into the Woods Christopher Sieber and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy s Jai Rodriguez, Swoosie Kurtz, Patrick Cassidy, Shirley Jones, and Paige Davis of Trading Spaces and Chicago plus, Avenue Q s John Tartaglia and Rod in a cameo from Scream.

Following the finale came a reminder of what all the glitz and gaiety was for: a generous check for $75,000 from The MAC AIDS Fund and MAC Viva Glam presented by MAC CEO John Demsey to Broadway Cares. With the support of MAC, our sold-out crowd, and our volunteers and volunteer dancers, we ve created a unique way to raise money to help people living with AIDS and their families that now has become an annual rite of spring for over 5,000 aficionados of Broadway, dance, the flash of well-toned muscle and a bit of booty. All, of course, for a good cause. (left to right) A highlight of the evening was the appearance of special guests Aaron Vexler and Mike Moran of 'Axiom ; Going Bananas featured Brad Aspel, James Leo Ryan and Denis Jones as Chico, Harpo and Groucho; Yo Adrian featured Keith Kuhl; this year s Bares poster boy, Eric Otte showed a side we've never seen of Bond, James Bond. events 39

42 18TH ANNUAL BROADWAY FLEA MARKET AND GRAND AUCTION SEPTEMBER 19, 2004 We escaped the remnants of Hurricane Ivan and Sunday morning skies cleared for the 18th edition of what some have come to call Broadway s Annual Company Picnic." Over 30,000 enthusiastic theatre fans shopped, schmoozed and gawked their way through Shubert Alley as the best of NYC s theatrical community united to make our last major fundraising event of fiscal year 2004 a rousing success. Fifty-three tables representing Broadway and off-broadway shows, unions, management offices and theatre-related businesses all pitched in, selling everything from signed memorabilia, Playbills, posters, baked goods and one-of-a-kind handmade items, raising a total of $192,064. Top performers included: United Scenic Artists ($16,923), Wicked ($12,788), Avenue Q ($11,944), Broadway Beat ($14,022), Broadway.com ($9,022), The Phantom of the Opera ($6,076), and The Producers ($5,443). Over $12,000 was raised at the Celebrity Table and Photo Booth where stars from Broadway and daytime television signed everything imaginable for their fans. Broadway s Bernadette Peters, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Bebe Neuwirth, Richard Thomas, Tonya Pinkins, Mario Cantone, Isabel Keating, Stephanie J. Block, Beth Fowler, Gary Beach, Joey McIntyre, Roger Rees, Tom Hewitt, Marian Seldes, Carole Shelley, Tovah Feldshuh, Joe Machota, Peter Scolari, Michael McKeon, John Tartaglia, Andrea McArdle and Tony Roberts were among the more than 90 stars who dropped by for an hour to meet and greet. The Silent Auction which featured 73 items sold over a five-hour period raised $35,000. Bidding was led by a Hirschfeld drawing of Gwen Verdon ($2,700). Two musical phrases from Avenue Q - written by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx - also received high bids, earning $2,200 and $1,800. Mel Brooks handwritten musical phrase When You Got It, Flaunt It," from The Producers, sold for $1,600. As has become tradition, The Grand Auction closed the day s festivities.

Continental Airlines, The New York Times, and Ford Motor Company were this year s major corporate sponsors. As always, we are grateful to the hundreds of theatrical professionals who joined forces to make this day possible and the tens of thousands of theatre fans who in turn made it fun and profitable for BC/EFA.

43 BROADWAY BARKS 6 JULY 10, 2004 HOW IT ALL BEGAN The Broadway Flea Market had an inauspicious start. In 1987, the event debuted as two tables presented by the company of A Chorus Line outside their stage door in Shubert Alley as a part of the first Equity Fights AIDS week, raising what was thought to be an astonishing $7,000. Over the next four years, under the leadership of Ethel Bayer, Stephen Falat, Arne Gundresen and Larry Hansen, the Flea Market grew, adding tables from more shows, theatre-related offices, unions, and guilds everyone recognizing a good cause and a great chance to clean house. In 1988, the organizers added an auction of eight lots, but without an experienced auctioneer on hand, the event sputtered to a finish. In 1989, Sotheby s Lorna Kelly came on board as our official auctioneer and, by adding her expertise, a truly grand auction was born. Today the Broadway Flea Market and Grand Auction draws thousands of devoted theatre fans and members of the theatre community to Shubert Alley and the adjoining area along 44th Street. As they say, from little acorns Specifically, over 16 years ( ), this event has raised nearly $6 million! And we re still signing posters, gathering swag, and cleaning closets and auctioning one-of-a-kind theatrical experiences for a good cause. BC/EFA s great friend, Broadway s David Masenheimer, stands proudly in front of his extraordinary display representing the day's Grand Auction; two from the celebrity table, Brian Stokes Mitchell and Bernadette Peters. The Broadway community came together between performances on a midsummer Saturday afternoon, finding homes for more than three dozen animals and raising an impressive $70,000 for 25 participating shelters around New York City. Hosted by founders Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore and special guest host Julie Halston, 2004 s lineup of celebrity pet presenters who all came by Shubert Alley eager to help find homes for a wonderful collection of critters and their shows, included: Jennifer Barnhart, Jordan Gelber, John Tartaglia and Natalie Venetia Belcon (Avenue Q); Gary Beach, Brad Oscar and Angie Schworer (The Producers); Michael Cerveris, Mario Cantone, Denis O Hare and Neil Patrick Harris (Assassins); Tonya Pinkins and Veanne Cox (Caroline, or Change); Sandra Joseph and Hugh Panaro (The Phantom of the Opera); Shirley Jones and Patrick Cassidy (42nd Street); Christy Carlson Romano (Beauty and the Beast); Isabel Keating, Michael Mulheren, Beth Fowler and Stephanie J.

One of the many dogs who found loving homes at Broadway Barks; Kristin Chenoweth had instant rapport with this cute little one; Eartha Kitt, Broadway star and the infamous cat woman of Batman fame with what else, a kitty! events 41

44 THE ANNUAL GOSPEL CELEBRATION OCTOBER 19, 2003 AUNTIE MAME: THE READING NOVEMBER 24, 2003 The BC/EFA fiscal year begins on October 1. On that day, every year, the fundraising odometer rolls back to zero and we start again. It seems somehow fitting that our first major event of the fiscal year was The Broadway Inspirational Voices special 10th Anniversary Concert of gospel music at New York s historic Town Hall. Star Jones hosted and our special guest, the legendary Patti LaBelle, joined the Voices in a grand finale. The Broadway Inspirational Voices is a gospel ensemble founded and musically directed by Michael McElroy, a well-known Broadway performer and BC/EFA Trustee. The Inspirational Voices is comprised of an impressive roster of singers from current and recent Broadway shows such as Aida, Beauty & the Beast, Cabaret, Hairspray, The Lion King, Mamma Mia!, The Producers, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Rent, Man of La Mancha, Jesus Christ Superstar, Kiss Me, Kate, Jekyll & Hyde, Smokey Joe s Cafe and The Music Man. For the last ten years, The Gospel Celebration has helped its audience to feel strength in our common humanity, as people of all faiths and backgrounds come together to celebrate as a community a higher power that underlines every faith. Over 50 voices strong, The Broadway Inspirational Voices sold out Town Hall and filled the hearts of those in attendance with a light-hearted and joyous enthusiasm, as it marked the beginning of the BC/EFA fundraising season The Broadway Inspirational Voices at Town Hall; Without a doubt, the highlight of the evening was the legendary Patti LaBelle's appearance as guest artist, joining the Voices on their performance of Shake Yourself Loose ; Aisha de Haas brings it home with Go Tell It. Actor/playwright Charles Busch met a larger-thanlife challenge when he took on the part of Auntie Mame, the title role in Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee s 1956 play, and one long-identified with the legendary Rosalind Russell. Based on the bestseller by Patrick Dennis, our Auntie Mame dream cast, led by Mr. Busch and directed by Richard Sabellico, featured Marian Seldes as Vera Charles, Swoosie Kurtz as Agnes Gooch, Anthony Edwards as Beauregard Burnside, Rue McClanahan as Mother Burnside, Christopher Sieber as Older Patrick, T.J. Larke as Young Patrick, and Valerie Harper as the Master of Ceremonies. Also participating in this incredible evening were Alan Aisenberg, Lucie Arnaz, Dylan Baker, Michael Berresse, Glory Crampton, Ray DeMattis, Alison Fraser, Hans Frederichs, Diane Findlay, Beth Howland, Charles Kimbrough, Douglas Sills, Sarah Uriarte Berry, and B.D. Wong. In a special guest appearance, veteran actor Cris Alexander recreated his performances from the original 1956 Broadway production, as Cousin Jeff and Mr. Loomis (Mame s manager at Macy s). It was a delight to meet Mr. Alexander who also created the roles of Chip and Frank Lippincott in the original Broadway productions of On the Town and Wonderful Town. Special thanks for making the evening possible go out to Deborah Robison and Janet Waldo Lee for the generous permission on behalf of the Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee estates. Mame's pals played by Douglas Sills, Marian Seldes, Michael Beresse and Christopher Sieber meet Gloria Upson, played by Sarah Uriate Berry; Special guest and legendary Broadway star Cris Alexander recreating his 1956 performance as Mr. Loomis with a 2004 version of Sally Cato, played by Lucie Arnaz; TJ Larke and Charles Busch as Young Patrick and his Auntie Mame. events 42

45 NOTHIN LIKE A DAME MARCH 1, 2004 HEATHER HEADLEY IN CONCERT MAY 27, 2004 There s nothing like Nothing Like a Dame. Presented by BC/EFA on March 1, at the St. James Theatre, the popular event raised $250,000 for The Phyllis Newman Women s Health Initiative of The Actors Fund. Cynthia Nixon, Alfre Woodard, and Tovah Feldshuh were among the celebrity hosts for this 9th annual production. Laura Benanti, Kathy Brier, Carolee Carmello, Kathleen Chalfant, Victoria Clark, Kate Clinton, Stephanie D Abruzzo, Christine Ebersole, Lauren Flanigan, Bebe Neuwirth, Julie Halston, Ann Harada, Amanda Green, Dee Hoty, Kate Monster, Christine Pedi, Tonya Pinkins, Chita Rivera, Camille Saviola, Liz Smith, and Gay Willis were also on the roster of luminaries appearing at the event. Chase Brock and Rob Berman conceived this year s opening number, with Brock providing choreography and Berman the arrangement and orchestration. Mary-Mitchell Campbell conducted and provided musical direction ffor the number, which featured a dancing chorus of red-gloved Dames and four singing and dancing soloists: Sutton Foster, Nancy Lemenager, Mamie Duncan Gibbs and Karen Ziemba. Among the many highlights was a recurring comic bit by legendary leading lady and Tony Award winner Zoe Caldwell (playing a stagehand!) and audience favorite Idina Menzel, closing the first act with her show-stopping song The Wizard and I from Wicked. The opening number of Nothin Like A Dame featured a dazzling collection of Broadway s loveliest; Camille Saviola and Chita Rivera regret the lack of Class ; opera star Lauren Flanagan and Kathleen Chalfant perform a duet from Tosca, in song and word, accompanied by Miriam Charney; Phyllis Newman is gently encouraged to move through her remarks by our special stagehand, legendary actress Zoe Caldwell. Broadway and pop star Heather Headley a longtime friend of BC/EFA, best known to New York audiences for her performance as Nala in The Lion King and her Tony Award - winning work in Aida returned to the city of her earlier triumphs for a one-night-only concert event entitled Home." Before a full house, the curtain came up on Heather in silhouette in front of musical director Rob Mathes and an 18- piece orchestra. The star s assured handling of the evening s signature song, Home from The Wiz, let the audience know that in the three years since she played her last performance in Aida, she had lost none of the shimmering sound that had made her a Broadway favorite. The first act continued with Headley s superb versions of such Broadway favorites as Nothing," My Heart Belongs to Daddy and His Is the Only Music That Makes Me Dance. Clay Aiken, fellow RCA recording artist and American Idol contestant, brought the act to a close with the duet Can You Feel the Love Tonight from The Lion King. The second act broke out of the Broadway mold and opened with a smoking version of Aretha Franklin s Chain of Fools and featured four numbers from Heather s Grammy-nominated gold CD This is Who I Am. Michael McElroy and The Broadway Inspirational Voices joined Heather on the rousing gospel numbers Someway, Somehow and Never Leave Me Alone. Heather closed the show with a very emotional encore of If It Wasn t for Your Love from her CD. Tony Award winning star Heather Headley; fellow RCA recording artist and American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken joined Heather and brought down the house with The Lion King's Can You Feel the Love Tonight. Aida co-star Adam Pascal joined Heather on one of their duets from the show, Written in the Stars. events 43

46 NATIONAL SUPPORT A strong commitment to BC/EFA extends far beyond New York City. In regional, stock, and dinner theatres across the country, as well as in cities that play host to Broadway s national touring shows, casts come together as they do in New York to raise funds continually for BC/EFA. Broadway s national tours are BC/EFA s ambassadors on the road. Without the added administrative expense of official chapters in cities across the country, BC/EFA is able to raise funds through autographed poster sales and curtain speeches as companies travel. These efforts raise hundreds of thousands of dollars each year and are an important piece of the financial support BC/EFA provides through the National Grants Program to many AIDS service organizations in the very cities visited by the national tours as they wind their way across the country. These special appeals have been made by such touring shows as 42nd Street, A Few Good Men Dancin, Aida, Beauty and the Beast, Blue Man Group, Chicago, Flower Drum Song, Hairspray, Jesus Christ, Superstar, Les Misérables, Mamma Mia!, Movin Out, The Phantom of the Opera, The Lion King, Thoroughly Modern Millie and Urinetown. Cast members from many tours go to the added effort of presenting special cabaret evenings in local clubs of theatres, the proceeds of which are then shared with local AIDS organizations and BC/EFA. However you measure it, the generous efforts of our friends on the road amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars that go back through BC/EFA to local AIDS service organizations nationwide. Fourteen years ago, the first Equity Fights AIDS Week was declared. What was then the Equity Fights AIDS Committee sent letters to every equity theatre asking that an appeal be made during Thanksgiving Week. That first year brought in over $70,000 from a few dozen theatres. Over the years, more local theatres joined in what turned into annual efforts, and in 1992, EFA Week became BC/EFA Week, a fundraising tradition which continues to this day. More importantly, over time, many regional theatres became allied with their local AIDS service organizations, raising funds for them as the national tours do for BC/EFA. Some theatres continue to do both. The Actors Playhouse at The Miracle Theatre in Coral Gables, FL; the Sacramento Theatre Company, CA; the Lyric Stage Company of Boston, MA; Portland Center Stage, OR; Syracuse Stage, NY; Actor s Theater of Louisville, KY; Cincinnati s Playhouse in the Park, OH; Fulton Opera House in Lancaster, PA; Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia, PA; North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly, MA; Connecticut s Goodspeed Opera House, Charlotte Repertory Theatre, NC; Arena Stage in Washington, DC; Alliance Theatre Company in Atlanta, GA; New Jersey s Papermill Playhouse, and Hartford Stage, CT are just a few of BC/EFA s stalwart supporters across the country. Our thanks go out to each and all. One of BC/EFA s greatest ongoing national supporters is the Carousel Dinner Theatre in Akron, Ohio. In 2004, seven of its musical productions raised over $41,000! (Miss Saigon is pictured); The Merry Go-Round Theatre s production of Show Boat in Auburn, New York raised $1,535; the smash hit production of Smokey Joe s Café at the Oqunquit Playhouse in Maine raised over $14,000 during the course of its summer run. Jacques Brel at the Stuart Street Playhouse in Boston raised more than $1,000. national support 44

47 SCHOOLS OUTREACH PROGRAM: THESPIAN FUNDRAISING In 2004, the money raised through our BC/EFA Schools Outreach Program almost doubled from $46,000 to $83,000 as did our opportunities to inspire theatre departments in middle schools, high schools and colleges across the country to take on active roles in HIV prevention education. Nearly all theatre students love Broadway, so it s no surprise to us that they would want to get involved in what the professional community does to support us. Many school groups attend shows during our Easter Bonnet and Gypsy of the Year campaigns, where they contribute to the donation buckets, stay for question and answer sessions with the casts, and buy autographed posters. So when we suggest that they undertake similar projects on our behalf during their own production seasons, most readily agree. In fact, they often go the extra step to come up with their own production concepts and fundraising campaigns. Some schools have written and designed their own shows about AIDS, while others have taken the opportunity to turn their AIDS benefits into week-long awareness campaigns involving the AIDS Quilt, guest speakers from our office and from their local organizations (many of which are BC/EFA grantees), and even live auctions and donation drives for BC/EFA. Teacher and parent response continues to be positive. These projects help students develop self-respect and social advocacy skills while learning compassion and increasing their own awareness of HIV. Our outreach efforts help spread the word about BC/EFA in both rural and urban areas across the country. To date, we have registered schools from Maine to California that contribute anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars apiece. We ve been invited to theatre festivals and school conferences to present workshops on the work that we do here, and to speak about the local AIDS organizations that we support in their respective cities and towns. On top of the work they do for us on their own stages, many students from nearby schools visit New York to volunteer for BC/EFA s regular calendar events. High school troupes (and their families) from all over the tri-state area have traveled to Shubert Alley to help at the Annual Broadway Flea Market each September, while New York City college students lend production and fundraising support throughout the year. This new generation of volunteers is essential to BC/EFA and to the Broadway community as well. Many hope to make a life for themselves here in the theatre after they graduate. They re learning early in their careers that theatre is about so much more than just performing it s about coming together as a community. We are proud to recognize the International Thespian Society and the Educational Theatre Association, as our strongest and largest supporters in high schools across the nation. We are also grateful to have both the New York State Theatre Education Association (NYSTEA), and Alpha/Delta Psi Omega the national theatre college fraternity/sorority as our new partners in the fight against AIDS. Students hold a benefit concert at their school for BC/EFA; International Thespian Society student officers work the Broadway Cares Flea Market in Shubert Alley; Indian River students promote AIDS Awareness and raise funds for BC/EFA at the annual NYSTEA conference in upstate New York. schools outreach program 45

48 BROADWAY ON EBAY Our ebay auctions began as a way of making lemonade out of a fundraising lemon. It rained during the 2001 Broadway Flea Market, drying out most of the buying and bidding action at that day s auction. Rather than store our merchandise for another year, we put various objects up for auction on ebay to see how they d sell. They sold and they ve continued selling ever since. From that lucky bit of bad luck, a successful new BC/EFA fundraising initiative was born: Broadway Cares Auctions on ebay. Since then, these auctions have become a uniquely lucrative fundraising initiative a profitable endeavor we stumbled on in an unexpected way. In 2004, 818 items sold for a collective $104,565, an increase over 2003 s total of $92,000. Autographed playbills and posters as well as props, costume pieces, exclusive opening night gifts, and one-of-a-kind theatrical memorabilia have all contributed to this very successful campaign. Stand-out items from fiscal year 2004 included a signed poster from Stephen Sondheim s Assassins, which sold for $657; a conductor s score from Fiddler on the Roof, which went for $585, and one of our most successful auction items ever tickets and party passes to the closing night of Hugh Jackman in The Boy From Oz, which sold for an amazing $15,567. Other items included signed posters from Wicked ($320) and The Producers ($392); a goody bag from the Tony Awards ($300); and a festive piñata decorated in the image of Harvey Fierstein as Edna Turnblad in Hairspray ($182). Obviously, other items went for less, but all added up to a very profitable year for BC/EFA on ebay. SIGNING FOR A CAUSE: BROADWAY SHOW POSTERS In addition to the direct financial support BC/EFA provides to hundreds of AIDS and family service organizations, we regularly receive requests for signed Broadway show posters that can be included in fundraising auctions and raffles across the country. Last year, over 620 signed show posters were sent in packages of 6-10 to 64 AIDS service providers to enhance their ability to raise funds in their local communities. It is no small favor to ask the casts of Broadway shows to sign dozens of posters, month after month, year after year. In addition to thousands sold for BC/EFA in theatres and by BC/EFA on ebay, hundreds more are sent by BC/EFA to agencies that would otherwise never have this kind of unique fundraising resource. Consider this: 620 signed posters at $100 each (and many are auctioned for much more) add up to $62,000 in additional revenue to dozens of grassroots organizations across the country. Our sincere thanks to everyone in any show who has ever taken pen to poster and signed their name once, twice, a dozen times, or until their hands hurt. (clockwise) Just a few of the one-of-a-kind (ok, maybe two) theatrical memorabilia sold on ebay by BC/EFA: an original crystal from the chandelier in The Phantom of the Opera; a Broadway Flea Market poster signed by over 50 celebrities in attendance; the wooden stake and mallet used to dispatch the undead in Frank Wildhorn s Dracula; signed posters from Avenue Q and The Boy from Oz; and a hand-written phrase of I Am My Own Best Friend signed by Chicago s composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb. broadway on ebay 46

49 RETAIL OUTREACH THE CATALOG OF GIVING AND THE BROADWAY CARES COLLECTION The primary goal of the Retail Outreach Program is to promote AIDS awareness and visibility for BC/EFA. In pursuit of this goal, BC/EFA makes the classic Red Ribbon available for free or at cost to AIDS service organizations and individuals nationwide. The retail Catalog of Giving (in print and online at appeals to Broadway enthusiasts and collectors across the country, presenting an impressive array of Broadway-related goods and paraphernalia, such as autographed theatre-related books, compact discs, videos on VHS and DVD, opening night gifts, and exclusive red ribbon gift ideas for the holidays and year-round occasions. Posters and T-shirts from BC/EFA events continue to be popular with those supporters around the country who can t actually be here in person. One of our biggest successes is The Broadway Cares Collection featuring one-of-a-kind collector items created especially for BC/EFA with over twenty Broadway musical logos adorning an ornament, tote bag, coffee mug, beach towel, throw blanket, charm bracelet, collector s plate, mouse pad and T-shirt. The most popular item continues to be the Broadway Cares snow globe, again featuring Broadway musical logos, which has collectors anticipating each year s new original design. In fiscal year 2004, The Catalog of Giving generated $545,801 in sales, topping 2003 s total of $494,000 by over $50,000. The Retail Outreach Program also forges relationships with other AIDS service and fundraising organizations by agreeing to include their products in the BC/EFA catalog. All silkscreen printing of BC/EFA merchandise, such as our popular T-shirts, is by Night Sweats & T-Cells, an Ohio based shop owned and operated by people living with HIV/AIDS. Many of the handcrafted items offered in the catalog come from The Alpha Workshops in Manhattan, where all artisans and trainees are people living with HIV/AIDS. South Africa-based Thembalethu Beaders provides all hand-beaded items that are made by women living with HIV/AIDS. CARETIX The CareTix program offers BC/EFA supporters access to the best seats in the house for Broadway, off-broadway, Radio City Music Hall, The Metropolitan Opera, Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, and national touring company shows in exchange for a charitable donation equal to the face value of the ticket price. CareTix tickets are house seats, normally reserved for entertainment industry insiders, which means that CareTix buyers get the very best seats in the house to shows that are often already sold out to the general public. Since 1988, CareTix has raised more than $10.9 million, generating $1,718,729 in fiscal year 2004 alone.

50 CORPORATE SUPPORT Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS was fortunate to have the continued support of a broad range of corporate donors in As one of the largest charities representing Broadway and the American Theatre, Broadway Cares is able to connect major corporate brands with some of the nation s foremost creative industries. We are also able to ensure that a corporation s support reaches into nearly every community in the country through our National Grants Program, and our corporate partners are able to build brand loyalty among the millions of people who are in some way associated with Broadway, be it on tour, onstage, backstage, or in the audience. Companies can partner with BC/EFA on a broad range of projects, including one-time event sponsorship, annual sponsorship packages covering a series of events, cash and in-kind donations that directly support our programs, and specialized cause-related marketing initiatives. With the creation of Broadway Delivers! in 2001 (see opposite page), a new way for Broadway Cares and corporations to work together was born. Many of the events that BC/EFA produced through Broadway Delivers! were originally produced for existing corporate clients such as Anheuser-Busch and Target, but this program has also provided a great way to bring new corporations into the Broadway Cares family. We salute the generous companies that provided major support of our programs in The official airline of Broadway and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS The official print media sponsor of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS Viva Glam The official web partner of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS John Demsey, Chairman of MAC Cosmetics and President of the MAC AIDS Fund presents Jerry Mitchell and 42nd Street stars Patrick Cassidy and Shirley Jones with a check for $75,000 for Broadway Bares (MAC also provided all the makeup and 50 MAC pro-team makeup artists); Ford Motor Company joined BC/EFA s largest annual sponsors, Continental and The New York Times, in sponsoring the Broadway Flea Market; Anheuser-Busch s Michelob Light presented $50,000 to BC/EFA as part of its sponsorship for the Broadway Show League. corporate support 48

51 BROADWAY DELIVERS! CUSTOM CORPORATE ENTERTAINMENT Broadway Delivers! is a fundraising initiative of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS created in 2001 to provide customized Broadway-style entertainment for a wide variety of corporate functions. This year s events included a movie premiere, a restaurant opening, a fashion show, a product launch, and book festivals across the country. BC/EFA s production expertise and access to the deep well of talent both on and off-broadway has resulted in our being able to successfully provide entertainment whenever and wherever a corporation needs it. Broadway Delivers! draws on the phenomenal commitment of the theatre community to Broadway Cares, offering the guaranteed magic of Live Broadway, along with the marketing and production expertise associated with the best of the Great White Way. A corporation makes a contribution to BC/EFA, and BC/EFA recruits and rehearses celebrities and Broadway performers, accompanists, and stage managers, customizing an official Broadway revue to match the company s needs. BC/EFA supplies everything from one singer to an entire evening s entertainment, and tailors the performance to the company s event and theme. In fiscal year 2004, BC/EFA was able to bring a touch of Broadway to the following events around New York and across the country. In November 2003, we partnered with HBO to present a Broadway insiders premiere screening of Angels In America. Two days later we were downtown at the Accessories Council ACE Awards where we delivered Tom Wopat as MC and several leading ladies including performers from Mamma Mia!, Nine, Hairspray, and Aida to accept an award. That same evening we celebrated the opening of Applebee s Restaurant in the theatre district with stars from neighboring musicals like Little Shop of Horrors, Mamma Mia! and Avenue Q. February brought the Tonner Doll Fashion Show and an appearance by Cabaret s Kate Shindle to accept a check on our behalf. In March, to promote Swoops, its latest snack food, the Hershey s Store unveiled the newest addition to its Times Square sign, and we produced an encore Broadway Delivers!, bringing out the Swoops Dancers to celebrate the event. Bebe Neuwirth, along with Kathy Brier and The Dynamites from Hairspray, joined in the festivities. Also in 2004, Anheuser-Busch renewed its annual commitment to Broadway Cares and The Broadway Show League. Broadway Delivers! helped celebrate by bringing out celebrities to the Opening Day of the show league, with stars singing the National Anthem and throwing out the first pitch. Successful events with long-term corporate partner Target included The LA Times Festival of Books, Chicago Tribune Printers Row Book Fair, The Boston Globe Book Festival, and New York is Book Country. These festivals start in the spring and continue through the fall, giving Broadway Cares a chance to reach into communities nationwide. "Schoolhouse Rock" presented on the Target Stage at the LA Times Festival of Books; Hairspray's "The Dynamites" sing "Welcome to the 60's" as they welcome Hershey's Swoops to Times Square; Eartha Kitt and Jamie Lynn DiScala at The Accessories Council ACE Awards; Kate Shindle at The Tonner Doll Fashion Show. broadway delivers! 49

52 DANCERS RESPONDING TO AIDS (DRA) Dancers Responding to AIDS is the American dance community s ongoing response to the health crisis, rallying the dance world to raise money to provide direct assistance to dance professionals living with HIV/AIDS, as well as to AIDS service organizations nationwide. These funds are distributed through The Actors Fund of America (see page 6), and through BC/EFA s National Grants Program (see page 12). The following are DRA s signature events during fiscal year 2004: THE REMEMBER PROJECT 2003 The Remember Project, a remembrance to those lost and living with HIV/AIDS, returned to Danspace at St. Mark s Church on December 6, More than 200 performers participated in this 12-hour vigil-in-motion, which lasted from noon to midnight. Dance groups represented included Susan Marshall & Company, The Erick Hawkins Dance Company, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Elisa Monte Dance, Joyce Trisler Danscompany, Pilobolus, American Ballet Theatre, Les Ballets Jazz de Montreal, Chinese Folk Dance Company, Battleworks, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, and Lawrence Goldhuber. An unforgettable highlight was one of the final performances by Homer Avila, a dancer/choreographer who lost his right leg and hip to a rare form of cancer. Avila passed away just a few months later on April 25, An inspiration to so many in the dance community, he continues to be missed. JOINING FORCES WITH THE FUTURE OF DANCE DRA is thrilled that young dancers across the country are joining professionals in their fundraising efforts. In 2004, more than $160,000 was raised through bake sales, special dance classes and audience appeals through our Studio of the Year program. With assistance from dance organizations like the New York City Dance Alliance and Tremaine Dance Convention, dance studios raise money for the opportunity to win trips to London or Los Angeles. During the summer of 2004, Marietta, GA s Rhythm Dance Center (which raised almost $25,000) earned a trip to London to perform at Sadler s Wells, while Topeka, KS s Dance Factory (which raised $7,000) learned it would be traveling to Los Angeles to perform at a premier dance gala. The DRA Dance Invitational with special guest, Broadway s Christopher Sieber, and over 100 dancers from seven studios across Los Angeles; Cedar Lake Dance Ensemble perform in DECADE at The Fire Island Dance Festival; enthusiastic audience members outdoors at Danskin s Ballroom in Bryant Park spontaneously joined in the finale. dancers responding to aids 50

53 DECADE: 10 YEARS OF THE FIRE ISLAND DANCE FESTIVAL In July of 2004, Dancers Responding to AIDS presented DECADE, the tenth year of the Fire Island Dance Festival, a tremendously successful event that raised more than $160,000. During the past decade, we ve seen this critically praised celebration of dance become one of the most anticipated social events of the Pines summer season. Alan Cumming emceed the three performances at this year s Festival, held at the bay-front home of Beau Clarke. Performers included classical and modern dancers from the Martha Graham Dance Company, Limón Dance Company, Paul Taylor Dance Company, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, and American Ballet Theatre. The weekend of festivities began on Friday night with a Hawaiian VIP leadership cocktail party at the beautiful home of William Hayden and Ron Perkov. A highlight of Friday s event was the appearance of a troupe of hula dancers and slack-keyed guitar players who entered from the bay via canoe! NEW YORK CITY FESTIVAL OF DANCE July 19 through August 6 marked Dancers Responding to AIDS New York City Festival of Dance. Activities ranged from benefit performances to master classes. Artists of all ages and from all spheres of the dance world from Broadway to the concert stage came together to perform in the main stage performances of Dancing for Life! in Bryant Park. The free outdoor performances showcased such troupes as Buglisi/Foreman Dance and ballet star Julio Bocca and his Ballet Argentino. Two New Jersey dance studios, The Art of Dance and Denise Daniele Dance Studio, who tirelessly raised money for DRA throughout the year, performed along with Dance Masters Mr. and Miss Dance of America. On August 5, in conjunction with LITE FM, DRA presented Broadway Dances, which featured dancers from 42nd Street, Bombay Dreams, The Lion King and Movin Out. A highlight was Wicked s Idina Menzel singing her own composition. Also that evening, Danskin sponsored Ballroom in Bryant Park, featuring performances by Dance Times Square, Stepping Out Studios, American Ballroom Theatre, and Blackpool competitors Christian Barens and Kristina Staykova. Homer Avila appeared in over half a dozen editions of The Remember Project. Avila died in April We remember him fondly; American Ballet Theatre s Danny Tidwell dances across the waters at The Fire Island Dance Festival; dance students from Topeka Kansas won a trip to Los Angeles from The Tremaine Dance Experience.

54 CLASSICAL ACTION: PERFORMING ARTS AGAINST AIDS Classical Action: Performing Arts Against AIDS merged with BC/EFA in October of Founded in 1993 using BC/EFA as a model, Classical Action draws on the talents, resources, and generosity of the performing arts community nationwide, with an emphasis on the classical, jazz, and opera communities, to raise funds for AIDS services. These funds are distributed primarily through The Actors Fund of America (see page 6) and BCEFA s National Grants Program (see page 12). Classical Action maintains its own identity and conducts its own fundraising endeavors, while BC/EFA assumes most administrative responsibilities, allowing Classical Action to devote maximum energies to its events and other fundraising activities. THE MICHAEL PALM SERIES The inaugural Michael Palm Series matched in financial success what it achieved in artistic excellence, raising more than $250,000. Underwritten by The Michael Palm Foundation, the series was established in memory of Michael Palm and in honor of his support of the arts and HIV/AIDS causes nationwide during his life. Classical Action is fortunate to be the beneficiary of a fiveyear grant to support the series, which consists of four annual concerts: three in New York City, all at the home of Judy and Steven Gluckstern, and one in a city outside New York. The opening concert of the season featured charismatic superstar pianist André Watts on November 16, 2003 performing a program of Schubert, Chopin and Debussy. On March 8, 2004, violinist Joshua Bell and pianist Simon Mulligan once again donated their services for a Classical Action benefit, giving the audience a preview of their imminent nationwide recital tour. The lovely Deborah Voigt, one of opera s most beloved sopranos, performed with pianist Brian Zeger on April 1, 2004 with a program ranging from Schubert and Tchaikovsky to Ives and Sondheim. The out-of-town Michael Palm Series concert took place this season with a Texas-native performing in front of a Texas crowd. April 15, 2004 marked the third and most successful collaboration between Classical Action and Houston s Center for AIDS with a concert featuring Tony Award -winner Betty Buckley. Ms. Buckley s cabaret-style program, with accompaniment by pianist Kenny Werner, brought the attraction of a glamorous nightspot to the living room of hosts Mike and Becky Cemo s River Oaks home. UP OUR ALLEY VI: CLASSICAL ACTION S SIXTH ANNUAL BENEFIT BOWLING BONANZA The heart and soul of wacky fundraising party Up Our Alley is the performing arts community from artist managers to orchestra members to record companies who formed 36 bowling/fundraising teams this year to raise a record $77,000 for people living with Isn t she lovely?.. Deborah Voigt had us in the palm of her hand; Violinist Leila Josefowicz and pianist John Novacek share an intense musical moment; Larry Lovins and Center for AIDS Board Member Steve Loden were instrumental in the production of Betty Buckley s benefit house concert in Houston. classical action 52

55 HIV/AIDS. After three hours of bowling at New York City s Bowlmor Lanes, the party continued at their upstairs party space, Pressure. Prizes were awarded in fundraising categories to Downtown NYC River to River Festival s Bowling Greens and G. Schirmer s Bowllet mécanique, among others. In more inventive categories, Best Team Name honors were given to Shabbat Shabowl (Tisch Center for the Arts) and The Anna Bowlenas (Opera News), and the Best Team Costume was proudly donned by Orchestra of St. Luke s team members Britney Spares. Sponsors of Up Our Alley 6 included WQXR 96.3 FM and ViceVersa Restaurant, with the participation of Izze Beverage Company. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME: CLASSICAL ACTION HOUSE CONCERTS One of Classical Action s most successful fundraising endeavors is the production of private house concerts. Supporters host concerts in their homes featuring some of the most prominent artists in music today, who generously agree to donate their time and talent. These events are not always initiated by Classical Action. This past fiscal year, jazz singer Audrey Silver spearheaded a house concert in New York City in May; Aaron Mendelsohn offered his Santa Monica, CA home for a house concert in November 2003 by pianist Emanuel Ax; and a trio comprised of violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, pianist/conductor André Previn, and cellist Lynn Harrell performed in the elegant Upper East Side (NYC) home of Steve Hellman and Katharine Hsu. Our Annual Appreciation Concert, exclusively for Classical Action Maestros (major donors), took place in May at the home of Judy and Steven Gluckstern and featured a dynamic performance by violinist Leila Josefowicz and pianist John Novacek. SUMMER IN THE CITY: ADDITIONAL CLASSICAL ACTION COLLABORATIONS Six events provided additional support for Classical Action during the summer months in 2004 through the generosity of our friends in the presenting community. The River to River Festival & Pace University, in association with Classical Action, presented Summer Stars, a 5-week concert series featuring some of today s most exciting young artists in classical music. These free performances, which took place at the Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts at Pace University, showcased the talents of pianists Kit Armstrong and Natasha Paremski and the Imani Winds Quintet, among others. On August 20, 2004, further uptown, the Mostly Mozart Festival and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts donated a portion of each ticket sold to that concert to Classical Action. The evening s performers themselves, from orchestra members to soloist Joshua Bell and conductor Louis Langrée, made contributions in support of our work. Bellisimo violinist Joshua Bell appears on The Michael Palm Series; The Britney Spares from Orchestra of St. Luke s show off their winning team costume at Up Our Alley 6; Pianist André Watts shakes hands with 12-year-old colleague Kit Armstrong, who performed the opening concert for Summer Stars; Audience members were seated just feet from the Mutter-Previn-Harrell Trio during the performance. classical action 53

56 THE MAESTRO PROGRAM The Maestro Program, Classical Action: Performing Arts Against AIDS s annual giving program for major donors, pays tribute to individuals who invest $1,000 or more in the work we do on behalf of HIV/AIDS service organizations and programs nationwide. Every great Maestro knows that each section of the orchestra, whether strings, woodwinds, brass or percussion, plays an important role in creating an overall sound. Similarly, those who contribute to The Maestro Program know that whatever giving category they choose, their contribution helps orchestrate the success of Classical Action, thus ensuring the future of AIDS services across the country.

57 THE ANGELS CAMPAIGN Angels are supporters who make total annual donations of $1,000 or more to support the vital work of BC/EFA. These gifts are especially important, as they provide us with a dependable core of donors whose gifts are not related to the purchase of merchandise and/or event tickets. These funds go directly into our pool of grant-making dollars, which are in turn distributed to HIV/AIDS service organizations nationwide, as well as to the numerous social service and housing programs of The Actors Fund of America. In Broadway lingo, an angel is an investor in a theatre production. In exchange for that financial investment, angels are traditionally guaranteed the best seats in the house for the shows their dollars make possible. The Angels Campaign creates a similar tradition for its supporters, granting BC/EFA Angels VIP status, along with a host of associated benefits ANGELS CAMPAIGN The following individuals, family foundations, and corporations made contributions to The Angels Campaign in our fiscal year 2004 between October 1, 2003 and September 30, Names in bold indicate BC/EFA Archangels, angel donors who increased their unrestricted giving by 25% or more over the past year.

70 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003 NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [1] ORGANIZATION: Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, Inc. (the "Organization") is a not-for-profit entity that raises money to provide grants to organizations providing assistance for health care to individuals in the entertainment industry (particularly HIV/AIDS and related womens' health issues) and to organizations and programs nationwide and internationally that provide care and services to people living with HIV/AIDS. Occasionally, the Organization also facilitates the fund-raising capabilities of the entertainment industry to address an urgent crisis or need, as directed by the Board of Directors. The Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, and from state and local taxes under comparable laws. [2] FINANCIAL REPORTING: (a) Basis of accounting: The accompanying financial statements of the Organization have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to not-for-profit entities. (b) Cash equivalents: For financial-presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents include cash invested in highly liquid money-market accounts. (c) Functional allocation of expenses: The cost of providing the various programs and supporting services has been summarized on a functional basis in the accompanying statements of activities. Accordingly, certain costs have been allocated among the programs and supporting services in reasonable ratios determined by management. (d) Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (e) Net assets: Unrestricted net assets represent those resources for which there are no donor restrictions as to their use. Temporarily restricted contributions, the requirements of which are met in the year of donation, are reported as unrestricted. [3] REVENUE RECOGNITION: Contributions: Contributions are recorded as revenue upon receipt of cash or unconditional pledges. Contributions are considered available for unrestricted use unless specifically restricted by the donor. It is the Organization s policy to sell donated investments upon receipt. financial statements 68

71 BROADWAY CARES/EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003 NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Volunteers: A substantial number of unpaid volunteers have made significant contributions of their time to the Organization. The value of this contributed time does not meet the criteria for recognition of contributed services required under generally accepted accounting principles and accordingly, is not included in the accompanying financial statements. Special events: The Organization conducts special events for which the use of the theater may be donated and the performers and support staff donate their time. A portion of the gross proceeds paid by the attendees represents payment for the direct cost of the benefits received by the attendees at the event. Unless a verifiable, objective means exists to demonstrate otherwise, the fair value of entertainment provided at these special events is measured at the cost to the Organization. The special event income is reported net of the direct costs of the event that are attributable to the benefit that the donor receives. Merchandise sales: The Organization operates a retail outreach program that sells AIDS-awareness red-ribbon items; items crafted by workshops sheltered for people living with AIDS; and general Broadway-show-related memorabilia. Sales are conducted via a printed catalog and on-line through the Organization s website. [4] PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are reported at their costs at the dates of acquisition or at their fair values at the dates of donation. Depreciation of furniture and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five years, and leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the underlying lease. [5] INVENTORY: Inventory consists of merchandise available for sale and is valued at the lower of cost or market value. Certain items have been contributed to inventory and have been recorded at their approximate fair values at the dates of contribution. Included in inventory are original, one-of-a-kind toy bears, each of which is a designer-costumed, collectible "Broadway Bear" that is to be offered at auction during the next fiscal year. [6] DEFERRED REVENUE: The revenue from advance ticket sales related to a future year's event is deferred and recognized as income in the year in which the performance is held. [7] GRANTS PAYABLE: Grant expenses are considered to be incurred at the time of approval for payment by the Board of Directors. Grants outstanding at the end of each fiscal year are expected to be paid in the following fiscal year. financial statements 69

73 BROADWAY CARES/EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 AND 2003 NOTE D - DONATED GOODS AND SERVICES Contributed goods are recognized at their fair market values at the dates of donation. Contributions of services are recognized when they are received, if the services (a) create or enhance nonfinancial assets or (b) require specialized skills, are provided by individuals possessing those skills, and would typically need to be purchased if not donated. During fiscal-year 2004, the Organization received $62,850 of donated airfare and $35,600 of donated security. In addition, the Organization received (i) donated toy bears of $100,000 and $90,000 in fiscal-years 2004 and 2003, respectively, and (ii) an in-kind contribution in the form of donated advertising which was valued at $170,000 and $175,000 in fiscal-years 2004 and 2003, respectively. NOTE E - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION A director of the Organization is a principal owner of the press agency used by the Organization. Fees paid for services and expense reimbursements to the press agency were $32,741 and $27,538 for fiscal-years 2004 and 2003, respectively. For the fiscal-years 2004 and 2003, grants of $3,360,500 and $2,972,500, respectively, were paid to the Actors Fund of America, a not-for-profit organization that has several board members in common with the Organization. NOTE F - CONTRIBUTIONS TO RELIEF EFFORTS As a result of the terrorist attacks in 2001, various Broadway shows collected donations for the relief efforts and submitted these contributions to the Organization. The Organization in turn distributed these funds, which amounted to approximately $215,000 in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2002, to appropriate recipients. NOTE H - RETIREMENT BENEFITS The Organization has a defined-contribution pension plan formed under U.S. Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) that covers all employees who meet certain length-of-service requirements. Participants' contributions are fully vested at all times, and vesting of the Organization's contributions is phased-in over a six-year period. There were no employer contributions made in fiscalyears 2004 and It is the Organization's policy to fund pension costs currently. NOTE I - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Organization deposits its cash in accounts with major banking institutions. At times, such amounts may be in excess of federal insurance limits. Management believes that the Organization has no significant risk of loss on these accounts due to the failure of the institutions. notes to financial statements 71
