Smidge, according to the e-mail I received, Week One starts on Monday, March 14th. For the first week they have 18 shows participating and are expecting more to join in the coming weeks. Please tell everyone you know to fill the red buckets!
I was at The Bridges of Madison County tour tonight, and they sold signed Playbills for $20 and signed posters for $40. They also auctioned off Andrew Samonsky's undershirt, which ended up including a photo op for the winner as well.
Fiddler started tonight-Playbills for $40, and Posters, but not sure the price-Danny did the Broadway Cares pitch in about 20 seconds because the show is so long that's all the time they have to spare at the end of the show before overtime kicks in.
I ask know Mormon started tonight-If the same as last collection season, posters for $200, and backstage tour for $2500.
Here is the full details on the collections from the BC/EFA Facebook:

I'm seeing Bridges in Dayton next week, and will deffinately be buying a poster! Thanks for the heads up! Now I know to bring cash!
I'm seeing Cabaret this weekend. I'll be sure to report if they are selling anything yet.
At today's Hamilton matinee Jon Groff made the speech and said they're almost all sold out of everything - they had signed playbills and letter props but that was it. Not sure how much they were.
Matilda had flashlight pens ($20), pencil cases with stuff ($20), signed playbill (can't remember price), signed poster ($100), signed dance ribbon ($200, only one)
At Jersey Boys today, they had aprons, water bottles, and signed playbills for $20, signed posters for $50, and the signed sherry sheet music prop for $500
I believe the King & I has started collecting and if offering signed posters and playbills. Not sure on the prices.
"Mostly, I loved the size of these people's emotions. Nobody has emotions this size anymore. Outsized emotions. Operatic emotions. Kushemski and Vanda are like Tristan and Isolde, they're Paolo and Francesca. Nobody's in total thrall like this anymore. Nobody's overcome by passion like this, or goes through this kind of rage." Thomas, Venus in Fur
I was at She Loves Me last night and they were collecting money, but had no Playbills or posters. If you donate $20, however, you could take a picture with Gavin Creel. I was one of the suckers who did it because I was too tired for the stage door. Apparently though I was not to tired to walk 8 blocks and past the (crazy) stage door crowd at Kinky Boots to Schmackary's. But that doesn't matter.
