We miss you! While we are not able to produce our usual in-person gala this year, we invite you to join us for this virtual gala concert and relive the excitement of past events through clips cultivated from our 25 years of outstanding performances with stars of stage and screen including:   Susan Anton, Carol Channing, Petula Clark, Carole Cook, Tyne Daly, Loretta Devine, ,Jill Eikenberry & Michael Tucker, Sam Harris, Florence Henderson, Jersey Boys, Kimberley Locke, Alex Newell, Bruce Vilanch, Lisa Vroman, Paula West, Marissa Jaret Winokor and many other surprises. 

We need your support

We are all facing new challenges because of the Covid-19 pandemic. We selected Project Open Hand as a co-beneficiary of this virtual event because they are seeing a 10 fold increase in demand for food service with decreased funding because they, too, are unable to produce their usual fundraising events. REAF has had to postpone or cancel all of our events for the foreseeable future but we intend to be here when the pandemic ends producing our amazing events which support HIV, hunger and homeless youth programs. Together we will weather the storm and return stronger than ever.  Please remember to stay safe until we can meet again!
