We Broke Our Own Record

ERic Schwartz, Senior Director, Ticketing

​The numbers are finally in!
 
Shubert became the fourth-highest fundraiser of 64 tables at the 38th Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction. We earned our highest sum yet: $45,968. In total, a record-breaking $1.4 million was raised for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. These funds provide lifesaving meals, medication and healthcare in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.
 
We could not have reached this number without you. Thank you all for your donations. From a Patriots Playbill to Michael Stuhlbarg’s hat, every dollar earned goes to a great cause.
 
Here’s a short list of the most buzzed about items.

• A private tour of the Shubert Archive
• The stage door from the Barrymore, signed by the cast and crew of Our Town
• A Fences window card signed by the late, great James Earl Jones
• Jewelry made from retired Jacobs chandeliers and friendship bracelets representing the Broadway season
• The autographed album covers from Harmony
• An electric guitar signed by the cast of The Heart of Rock and Roll
• The stars from the set of Farinelli and the King
• The Easter bonnet from Kimberly Akimbo
• The armrests and exit signs from the Majestic

 
Thank you to Security and the Warehouse for their incredible logistical support.
 
And shout out to our Flea Market table: Taryn Alianello, Kevin Byrne, Emma Deloso, EB Fehlner, Heather Fuentes, Sue Kisenwether, Austin Kunis, Krista Langan, Diana Lounsbury and Klancy Maples.
 
Congratulations everyone!
