Since it’s inception in 1995, The Richmond/Ermet AIDS Foundation has raised well over
$2 million for AIDS service agencies in the Bay Area and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. 100% of proceeds from ticket sales have always gone directly to the beneficiary partners.

ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE, A Help Is On The Way Valentine Benefit Concert is produced by
The Richmond/Ermet AIDS Foundation, founded in 1995 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 and raise funds for AIDS service organizations.
