On March 14, Broadway Cares kicked off their annual fundraising Red Bucket campaign. From now through April 27, theater audiences may contribute to the “Red Buckets” to help raise funds for supporting those who are facing life altering challenges.
The program runs across Broadway, Off-Broadway, and the various national tours around the country. Last year the Red Bucket campaign raised $4.7 million in the spring campaign.
Some benefactors can receive autographed posters, Playbills, a one-of-a-kind experience, or unique memorabilia for their donations.

Broadway Cares Executive Director Danny Whitman spoke on the campaign saying, “we’re endlessly grateful for the entire theatre community—stage managers, actors, hair and makeup artists, ushers, backstage crew, and so many more—who so generously dedicate their time and spectacular talents to Broadway Cares. With the theatre season in full swing and Broadway in bloom, the only thing more powerful than our industry’s extraordinary artistry is its boundless generosity of spirit. Thanks to all on Broadway, Off-Broadway, in national tours, and their audiences, people in need will continue receiving lifesaving meals and medication, health care, and hope.”
“Broadway Cares is one of the nation’s leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations.”
