parties for life

Parties for Life are a great way to get into the holiday spirit, share a good meal and have a great time with family and friends. AIDSCare invites you to take this opportunity to give this season more warmth and make the holiday parties more meaningful. Join us and celebrate the season by hosting a Parties for Life benefit. Parties for Life help support programs and services, raise HIV/AIDS awareness and send good will and cheer to more than 125 men, women and children living on our North Lawndale Campus.

The Individual Hosts will invite friends, coworkers and family members to their holiday party and charge attendees a $25 - $100 door donation. Corporate Hosts will pledge a dollar amount to AIDSCare and extend the charitable theme to their employees prior to and during the event. AIDSCare will provide each host with printable invitations, as well as information sheets, brochures and other marketing materials to hand out the night of the event.

dusk

Thank you to all of our sponsors, supporters, and DUSK attendees on Friday November, 7th! DUSK was a Pre-Nocturnal Kick Off Party for AIDSCare's Fat Saturday Ball: Nocturne. The event helped kick off one of AIDSCare's largest annual fundraisers, the Fat Saturday Ball.  Complimentary drinks and appetizers were provided by Mary's Attic, and guests received a sneak peek at some of the Ball's risque and alluring entertainment, Hot Toddy, Belmont Burlesque, and Read My Hips.  

Thank you all again for your tremendous support!
