Thanks to all of our sponsors for "Help is on the Way ###II: Broadway & Beyond" on Aug. 2nd and thank you Sophie Azaoaou for creating this lovely graphic. We couldn't do anything without the support of our wonderful sponsors and volunteers. It truly takes a village to put on an event like this and we are truly grateful to our gala co-chairs, Sophie Azaoaou and Dr. Greg Hammer, our VIP Party chair, Stephanie Block, our gala and host committees, our amazing board of directors, the incredible cast of Disney's "Beauty & The Beast", all of our guest performers and all of those who attended and helped raise significant money to support Project Open Hand and REAF's own Small Emergency Grants Program. Our program was intended to inspire hope, joy and compassion while raising significant funds for those in need. We hope all of you who attended felt some of that hope and inspiration. We are only here because of your support.

Every body deserves its moment in the spotlight ❤️‍🔥 All of the female and non-male underwear worn in Broadway Bares SF this year was generously provided by Thistle and Spire Lingerie, a brand that knows sexy has no single shape, size or identity.

Thistle & Spire have an amazing history of supporting the community, and their generosity helped our dancers step onstage feeling powerful, celebrated and ready to bare it all.

VIP tickets to "Help is on the Way ###II: Broadway & Beyond" are almost sold out but there are still performance only seats available for the time being. Apparently, those who know like to attend the VIP after party where they can meet and mingle with the cast while enjoying delicious munchies, wines and/or cocktails. This year, we've moved up to the Grand Ballroom so there'll be a bit more space to breath -- and maybe even dance to the beats of our DJ. This year, we also have 3 amazing packages in a short live auction from the stage so there's a chance to score some real bargains there and in the silent auction. Get your tickets while you still can at https://Help32.eventbrite.com

A very special thank you to for keeping Broadway Bares SF so well-supported… in every sense of the word!

Addicted USA provided all of the male underwear featured in this year’s show, helping our dancers look incredible while continuing their amazing track record of showing up for the community.

The cast had a few thank-yous of their own!

It takes a whole lot of talent to get this much talent stage-ready! This year, brought their skills, energy and plenty of hairspray backstage at Broadway Bares SF: StripStation 9, generously donating more than $2,000 in professional styling services and products.

Their support helped our performers look and feel incredible onstage, while allowing more of the money raised to go directly toward supporting people impacted by HIV, housing insecurity and food insecurity.

Swipe for a little backstage magic, and please show some love to the wonderful team at Steel & Lacquer. We’re so grateful they were part of the show ❤️
