Celebrating Tom Viola: A Legacy of Service, Activism, and Generosity with BCEFA

An incredibly emotional salute to outgoing Executive Director of BC/EFA, Tom Viola.

Service. Activism. Commitment. That's Tom Viola.

As he beautifully stated in his speech, "Generosity and Gratitude are the fuel of the universe." Under Tom’s extraordinary 36-year leadership, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) has embodied these values, supporting countless communities, including Dancers Over 40 (DO40).

Tom’s understanding of our mission and his unwavering support have made our high-quality events possible. Through our annual participation in the BC/EFA Flea Market, we've proudly given back over $60,000 in the past 17 years.

Thank you, Tom, for your dedication, humor, and kindness. Wherever your next chapter leads, we know you'll continue to inspire.

With gratitude and love,

John
