NextAid is a fabulous non-profit organization dedicated to creating sustainable solutions for African children orphaned as a result of AIDS. All proceeds from this event will go to NextAid to help with their development work in South Africa. NextAid is committed to representing the international dance community in its effective and practical response to the AIDS pandemic.

Most of you probably know the music of our DJs fairly well, but you should also check out the website of the dance troupe that will be performing, Nouvel Expose.

We're also going to have a selection of photos and paintings donated by local artists available for silent auction and a psychic giving palm and tarot card readings.
For anyone interested in showing up a bit earlier, Lauren, the founder of the charity we're working with, will be giving a short presentation on their projects in South Africa. She's cool, we met her in Miami at WMC last year.
There is a limited guestlist of $10!
It's an amazing cause :) We hope to see you all on the dancefloor for some crazy beats. |

Gates: Women key to fighting AIDS

Gates said he would step up funding for prevention research but said governments and other donors needed to do so, also.

GETTING INTO GERE
It wasn't movie star power that touched young people during a chat with Richard Gere about AIDS and HIV. It was the actor's passion about the issues.
