6 stars. 12 days. $2 million goal. The Broadway Cares Red Bucket Match-Up starts now.

Six of Broadway and Hollywood’s most charitable stars want you to join them in a spirited two-week competition to see whose fans will fill their virtual red buckets.

Leading the Red Bucket Match-Up are Jason Alexander, Jordan Fisher, Kathryn Gallagher, Eric McCormack, Aaron Tveit and Jenna Ushkowitz. It’s classic Broadway vs. today’s Tony nominees. Dear Evan Hansen vs. Waitress. Network TV veterans vs. streaming breakout stars.

Their goal is to raise $2 million to provide lifesaving medication, health care and emergency assistance to those across the country struggling right now. And they’ve only got 12 days to reach it.

Whose team are you on? Swipe up from our story to join your team and make a difference.

Donate today and it'll be generously matched by @gileadsciences dollar for dollar, up to $1 million. You can have 2x the impact by helping your favorite team jump to an early lead. And you’ll be making a critical difference for those affected by HIV/AIDS, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and other life-threatening illnesses in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.
