Since it's inception in 1995, The Richmond/Ermet AIDS Foundation has raised over 1.3 million dollars for AIDS service agencies in the Bay Area and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. 100% of proceeds from ticket sales has always gone directly to the beneficiary partners.

The three beneficiaries for this year are: Pediatric HIV/AIDS Program at Children's Hospital Oakland * The HIV Education Program at New Conservatory Theatre Center * Tenderloin AIDS Resource Center (TARC).

HELP IS ON THE WAY FOR THE HOLIDAYS V is produced by The Richmond/Ermet AIDS Foundation, founded by Barbara Richmond & Peggy Ermet in memory of their sons, John Richmond & Doug Ermet, who both lost their lives to AIDS. In 1995 They decided not to get mad but get even when they launched a musical AIDS benefit to honor their sons by raising funds for AIDS service organizations. Executive Producers are Joe Seiler & Ken Henderson.
