The Richmond/Ermet Aid Foundation

REAF’s founders, the late Barbara Richmond and Peggy Ermet, envisioned a world without AIDS when they created this agency. REAF’s focus has always been, and continues to be, to support AIDS services until there is a cure. With recent advancements in HIV treatments and promising research for a cure however, REAF has expanded our focus areas of what we support and capitalize on our 22 year history of successful fundraising through quality entertainment events. REAF now also supports programs that provide food for the needy and programs that support homeless and disenfranchised youth in addition to continued funding for HIV programs in the SF Bay Area.

Beneficiaries for our 2017 events to date include Meals On Wheels of San Francisco, Positive Resource Center (summer gala), Larkin Street Youth Services, Project Open Hand (holiday gala) and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (One Night Only Benefit Cabaret series).
