over one hundred seventy-five million dollars ($175,000,000) for critically-needed
services and so much more for people with AIDS, HIV-related illnesses,
HIV itself and numerous other serious illnesses and conditions!

"Gypsy-of-the-Year"
Cited as "...possibly the season's most dazzling talent show", the
Gypsy-of-the-Year Competition features New York's most talented
"gypsies" (chorus members from Broadway and Off-Broadway shows) in a
competitive variety show. The event is the culmination
of weeks of fund-raising during which shows on and Off-Broadway --
including national tours -- engage in a fiercely friendly competition
to see which show can raise the most money for BC/EFA. Awards are
presented to the shows raising the most money and the shows giving the
most impressive 'live' performances.
