The 39th annual Broadway Flea Market reached a new record in monies raised. The one-day outdoor event, which [took place](https://www.broadwaynews.com/broadway-flea-market-grand-auction-sets-fall-2025-return-in-nycs-theater-district/) on Sept. 21, raised $1,633,803 for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Proceeds from the flea market, which features a slew of show merchandise and unique Broadway-related paraphernalia, go directly to the national nonprofit, which provides meals, medication, health care and other essential services to those living with HIV/AIDS and other illnesses.

A total of 65 Broadway shows and industry organizations were represented at the market’s tables, which raised $851,552\. The top-fundraising table was the Association of Theatrical Press Agents and Managers (ATPAM), which took in $86,861\. Other top-earning tables included “The Outsiders” ($74,002), “Hadestown” ($48,269), “Death Becomes Her” ($42,581), "Telecharge and the Shubert Organization" ($39,031), “Maybe Happy Ending” ($36,195), “Just in Time” ($34,143), “Curtain Call” ($28,330), “Wicked” and “the Broadway Green Alliance” ($28,014) and “Operation Mincemeat” ($27,469).

The event also featured a silent auction (with 156 pieces of memorabilia and experiences, which raised a total of $212,354) and a live auction (with 67 items that collectively raised $521,200). 

The autograph table and photo booth, which featured over 50 Broadway performers, raised $26,556 for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

Finally, the Broadway Flea Market also had a digital presence, as Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS’ eBay store raised $18,641.

“The Broadway Flea Market and Grand Auction is a joyful reminder of what makes this community so extraordinary,” Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS executive director [Danny Whitman](https://www.broadwaynews.com/tom-viola-will-retire-from-broadway-cares-equity-fights-aids-danny-whitman-to-succeed-as-executive-director/) said in a statement. “It exemplifies the most brilliant embodiment of creativity, generosity and volunteerism in action — those who make Broadway magic happen eight times a week and thousands of fans, coming together to celebrate all things theater. All while ensuring meals, medication, housing and more lifesaving and life-affirming support reaches those who need them most.” 

Since the first Broadway Flea Market’s inaugural edition in 1987, the event has raised a total $21.8 million for Broadway Cares.
