REAF’s newest gala event, “All You Need is Love: A Help is on the Way Valentine Benefit” is shaping up to be a great event celebrating all things Valentines. It’s a great way to tell someone you care as well as show some love for three great AIDS service agencies who badly need our support and funding. We all know how bad the economy is and how it’s affecting so many people in so many ways. Charities are always one of the first things people cut back on which is understandable but the need now is greater than ever as most agencies are facing severe budget cuts and thousands of people living with AIDS and HIV are in jeopardy of losing services they depend upon.
“All You Need is Love” is a new event that will replace this year’s holiday gala, cancelled due to the timing of the elections, the recession and declining economy. But it’s a new year, a new administration and we have hope for better times ahead. Great seats are still available for this Valentine-themed event at the Post Street Theatre on Monday, February 9th at 7:30pm. The producers of the hot new Latin Ballroom show, “Burn the Floor,” and the management of the Post Street Theatre are donating the use of the theatre and dancers from “Burn the Floor” will joining our already fabulous cast.
Performance only tickets for this show are only $45 or $65. Gala tickets are $100 and include the dessert party with the cast in the Paris Ballroom of the nearby Hotel Monaco following the show. Underwriter level tickets start at $125 and also include the dessert party as well as other benefits (see our website for details). The dessert party features an array of delectable desserts, wine tastings from many premium wineries and special martini and margarita bars. You can order tickets online from our website or by calling the REAF ticket line at 415-273-1620.
This event benefits Maitri AIDS Hospice, the HIV services at Lyon-Martin Health Services and Sunburst Projects who provide day care and summer camps for kids with AIDS and their families from throughout Northern California.
