Dancers Responding to AIDS

be a Dancer Responding with Action!

About Me

Founded in 1991 by Denise Roberts Hurlin and Hernando Cortez, DRA is a program of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the nation's leading industry-based AIDS fundraising and grant-making organization. The funds raised are distributed to seven programs of The Actors' fund of America and as grants to over 500 AIDS and Family service organizations across the United States. Since its founding in 1988, BC/EFA has raised over $100 million for critically needed services for people with HIV/AIDS. In 2004, more than $160,000 was raised through bake sales, special dance classes and audience appeals through our Dance Student Outreach Project.

There are many ways to help fundraise for DRA and become a Dancer Responding with Action!
When AIDS is stopped, we will dance for joy... Until then, we will dance for life!"
