âThe competitive spirit of these actors and the generosity of Gilead will help fill a critical void thatâs deepened for local organizations during the pandemic as requests for help dramatically increase and financial support has decreased,â Broadway Cares Executive Director Tom Viola said. âGilead led the funding of our Emergency Grants for Pandemic Relief last year, ensuring grants that we initially feared wouldnât be made. While we hoped to be back in theatres fundraising by this time, weâre excited about the opportunity the
Red Bucket Match-Up gives us for this yearâs National Grants Program.â
Last May, Gilead Sciences offered $1 million to help Broadway Cares award Emergency Grants for Pandemic Relief. They were joined by Mâ§Aâ§C Viva Glam, ViiV Healthcare, and the P. Austin Family Foundation. Broadway Caresâ supporters helped raise another $250,000, matched by Gilead, to provide $2 million in emergency grants.

And you ll have the opportunity to start developing a relationship. And that s what this business is all about. Relationships.
The Speed Date is the only event I know of that gives writers the chance to meet high level producers one-on-one in a room. To me, that s what makes the Speed Dates so valuable. And you do it with kindness, which I value in life. ~Vincent Amelio (How Alfo Learned to Love)
