The Broadway Curtain Up Auction shines a spotlight on how powerful we are when we come together: stars and shows donating their time, fans and supporters bidding high, and Charitybuzz providing unforgettable experiences for everyone involved.

This sweepstakes is all to support one of the organization’s that continues to support so many of the theater industry’s members: Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. BC/EFA is the philanthropic heart of Broadway, helping ensure those affected by HIV/AIDS, COVID-19 and other life-threatening illnesses nationwide receive medication, healthy meals, counseling and emergency assistance; awarding annual grants to more than 450 AIDS and family service organizations in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.
“Broadway was drastically affected by the pandemic, and our non-profit partners have been the ones unrelenting, creative and consistent in their support of the people who bring these shows to life,” said Charitybuzz CEO Ben Erwin. “As excitement builds for the return of Broadway and other live events, we’re seizing on the opportunity to raise funds for these organizations that have done so much for the community. This campaign will bring fans the memorable experiences they’ve been waiting for and bring charities the ever-important funding they need to drive impact.”
Each auction bid and sweepstakes entry generates important charitable impact in partnership with more than 4,500 non-profit organizations, including Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, The Actors Fund, and theater organizations including the Broadway Green Alliance, A Is For, the Broadway Advocacy Coalition, Roundabout Theater Company, the Freestyle Love Supreme Scholarship Fund and more.
