The Richmond/Ermet Aid Foundation is presenting its 32nd Anniversary "Help Is On The Way" fundraising event on Sunday, August 2nd at the Marines' Memorial Theater in San Francisco with the VIP After Party hosted by Stephanie Block & the cast at the Beacon Grand Hotel, Grand Ballroom, 450 Powell St. (formerly Sir Francis Drake). "Help Is On The Way" is one of San Francisco’s longest-running benefit concerts featuring stars from Broadway, TV, film & the recording industry. The concert will feature cast members from the Broadway touring cast of Disney’s “Beauty & The Beast” & while you won't hear the music from the touring show you can expect to hear some other fabulous songs as cast members join guest performers from Broadway, TV & Film. Additional entertainers will include Leanne Borghesi, David Burnham, Juan Pablo Di Pace, Paula West, Nita Whitacker & Alliana Lili Yang. Ken Henderson, Executive Director of the Richmond/Ermet AID Foundation stated, “It’s hard to believe this will be our 32nd annual "Help is on the Way" Concert & Gala. With all the proposed cuts to funding for LGBTQ+ causes as well as food distribution programs like Project Open Hand, we are proud that 100% of ticket sales will go directly to support our cause & we know our ticket buyers will still be getting one hell of a great show.” To date REAF has raised well over $4.5 million dollars to support AIDS/HIV services, hunger programs & programs for homeless & disenfranchised youth. The 32nd Gala event consists of a Broadway-style performance & a nightclub-themed after party with the cast. The event benefits Project Open Hand & REAF’s Small Emergency Grants Program.
