22% of spectators come from outside the city. Only beaten in both size and prestige by London’s West End and New York’s Broadway, Madrid sells more than three million tickets for musicals every year, double the number of people who go along to football games at the stadiums of the city’s big teams. In the last two decades, these family shows have become a vital part of the city’s tourist experience, as it’s now the world capital of musicals in Spanish. True to START's mission, we continue to provide care to the most disadvantaged and vulnerable citizens.Popular musical theatre developed in the United States in the 1920s but has since set up permanent shop in Madrid.

While we have come a long way since the early years of the AIDS crisis, people living with HIV/AIDS continue to face new, life-threatening circumstances, especially during the recent global pandemic. Too many people living with HIV or AIDS experience higher rates of food and housing insecurity and suffer from health conditions such as diabetes – all of which further increases their risk of complications from the coronavirus disease. START will participate in the 2023 AIDS Walk on May 21st in Central Park.

The AIDS Walk New York is the world's largest and most visible HIV/AIDS fundraising event. Donating and supporting AIDS Walk New York will directly enable START, as a part of the GMHC Community Partner Program, to continue to innovate, lead, and deliver vital services for those affected by HIV/AIDS at a time when they are especially needed. No amount raised is too small or too large - so can we count on your commitment of at least $250? If you ask ten people to donate $25 you are more than on your way to helping us meet the goal. Please click on this link for our dedicated donation page. The culmination of our fundraising efforts will be a powerful demonstration that dedicated nonprofits' voices, initiatives, actions, and functions are as needed, noticed, and viable, even more so than ever.
