As you may know, we have a tradition of asking people who come to our parties to forgo gift giving and instead bring something for those in need. In the past we have collected items for charities such as Second Harvest Food Bank, Shelter for Battered Women, United Family Services, Humane Society, and Classroom Central. The generosity of our friends has touched many lives over the years, and we trust that this time it will be no different.

For the occasion of Gillian's 40th birthday, we have chosen one of our favorite charities – Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA). We believe in the important work that BC/EFA does, and hope that you will join the ranks of those who support them.

At the party we collected $1,334 in donations and through drink specials. 100% of the donations were sent directly to BC/EFA.

If you have not yet made a donation in honor of Gillian's birthday, please take a moment to make a donation directly to BC/EFA on our special donation page.  If you want to know more about our work with BC/EFA, you can see a fun profile of us on the BC/EFA website.
