Celebs for a Cause
A big charity event benefiting good causes, Help is on the Way for the Holidays presents its 2015 show. A project of the Richmond/Ermet Aid Foundation, the gala concert been raising money for AIDS organizations and other service groups for 14 years. It features a star-packed lineup, with more than a dozen theater and musical performers on this year’s slate, including vocalist and original Weather Girl Martha Wash, original Supremes member Mary Wilson, violin virtuoso Leah Bourgade, pop and jazz vocalist Russ Lorenson, and cabaret artists Sharon McNight and Carly Ozard. A preshow silent auction and an underwriter post-show dessert party round out the evening. Proceeds will go to Aguilas and Larkin Street Youth Services. The Richmond/Ermet Aid [formerly AIDS] Foundation was founded by two mothers who lost their only sons to AIDS and decided to hold a fundraising event to honor their boys’ memories and raise money for services helping others with the disease.
