YouthAIDS "The Power of Music!" 2008 Gala - October 3rd, 2008
Every year the YouthAIDS Gala produces an over the top, first-class, exclusive, A-List celebrity event. They should, for a ticket price that starts at $2,500. Kate Roberts, the Founder of YouthAIDS, and her team continuously raise their own bar and make an evening that is not only entertaining and enjoyable for their guests, but also one to never forget.
This year shall be no different (and you thought they couldn’t top Bono presenting an award to Speaker Nancy Pelosi?). YouthAIDS Global Ambassador, actor/activist/cause leader/natural beauty, Ashley Judd (pictured left from YouthAIDS website) will again Host the event at the Ritz Carlton in Tysons Corner on Friday October 3rd.
The globally focused non-profit will honor: Annie Lennox, Sir Bob Geldof, and Judy McGrath and special guests Anna Kournikova and Miss Universe will also be in attendance.
Last year YouthAIDS raised over $1.5 million and this year they hope to surpass that number and introduce more people to the good work they do throughout the world:
YouthAIDS, an education and prevention program of PSI, uses media, pop culture, music, theatre and sports to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS and reach 600 million young people in more than 60 countries with life-saving messages, products, services and care.
Sponsorships are still available as of now, but have a deadline of September 12th to get in the printed program. Please see below some of the folks who have signed on to support YouthAIDS (thank you to each).
We hope to see you at the Ritz on October 23rd.
