30 years ago, two mothers, who each lost their only sons to AIDS had an idea to to create a benefit to honor their sons' memories and to raise funds for the kinds of agencies who took care of their sons before they died. Barbara Richmond and Peggy Ermet were remarkable women and lifelong friends who were each other's primary sources of support when their sons were dying. But today, those sons live on through these "Help is on the Way" concerts and, although the two mothers' dream that a cure for AIDS be found in their lifetime did not come to pass, the Richmond/Ermet Aid Foundation continues to thrive and produce fundraising concerts and events. Our mission has changed slightly in that in addition to raising funds for HIV/AIDS, we also provide aid for hunger programs and programs for homeless youth and underserved seniors. The need has not gone away and neither have we. On Sunday, July 14th, we will be commemorating our 30th year with our "Help is on the Way: Broadway & Beyond" concert and gala at the Marines' Memorial Theater and Beacon Grand Hotel.
