Chicago, 1985
: A group of theatre community volunteers created 
The Biscotto-Miller Fund
 as a response to the escalating AIDS/HIV epidemic and named it in memory of Tommy Biscotto and J. Pat Miller, two of the first known outspoken victims of AIDS. Forty years later, the Fund continues to provide emergency aid to Chicago theatre workers—now for any illness or injury—as part of Season of Concern. Join us for an evening of story and song commemorating this occasion, as well as the Fund's first benefit event: 
Arts Against AIDS
.
The event will feature both memories from the Fund's founding as well as its evolution. Enjoy stories from those were there when it started and musical performances from some of today's best Chicago Theatre talent! The evening will also include recognition of 
Michael Ryczek
's service to Season of Concern.
Performers scheduled to appear: 
E. Faye Butler, 
Mark David Kaplan, 
Chuck Larkin, Keely Vasquez, & Honey West.
Attendees can also enjoy a silent auction, light bites and a cash bar.
