New York, NY — On the 4/15 segment, Lisa and Team Forte were charged with learning the arts of puppetry and comedy improvisation, and performing in an off-Broadway show, "Stuffed and Unstrung."  In the end, Team Forte won and Lisa,as the project manager, won $20,000 for GMHC!  It was glorious to watch her win and say — while millions of viewers tuned in — that her charity is Gay Men's Health Crisis.

We still have a few more weeks of competitions. Lisa could possibly win another competition before the final show which airs on Sunday, May 20 (also the day of AIDS Walk New York). The final show consists of the last woman and man battling it out to win the ultimate prize of $250,000 for their respective charity.  We send our heartfelt appreciation to Lisa for all her hard work to raise money for GMHC during this show's season.
