Since it's inception in
1995, The Richmond/Ermet AIDS Foundation has raised over one million
dollars for AIDS service agencies in the Bay Area and Broadway Cares/Equity
Fights AIDS. 100% of proceeds from ticket sales has always gone directly
to the beneficiary partners, allowing those agencies to concentrate
more on delivery of direct care and less on fund-raising. The beneficiaries
for this year (2001) are THE PEDIATRIC HIV/AIDS PROGRAM AT CHILDREN's
HOSPITAL OAKLAND, - HIV EDUCATION PROGRAM AT NEW CONSERVATORY THEATER
CENTER, and BAY (Bay Area Young) POSITIVES.
HELP IS ON THE WAY FOR
THE HOLIDAYS III is produced by The Richmond/Ermet AIDS Foundation,
founded by Barbara Richmond and Peggy Ermet in memory of their sons,
John Richmond and Doug Ermet, who both lost their lives to AIDS. In
1995 the two women decided not to get mad but get even when they launched
a musical AIDS benefit to honor their sons by raising funds for AIDS
service organizations.
