PALM SPRINGS, CA, - In the video promoting D.A.P.’s signature fundraising<br />
gala, the 21st Annual Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards on Saturday,<br />
February 7, guests are invited to<br />
Imagine …<br />
a world without HIV.<br />
an AIDS-free generation.<br />
helping to create it.<br />
Gala sponsor Time-Warner will run the video 500 times in our local market<br />
between <strong>December</strong> 22 and the evening of the gala. “We’re so grateful for this<br />
significant push in helping promote our gala, which we hope will even exceed<br />
last year’s more than $1.4 million in revenue raised for client services at Desert<br />
AIDS Project,” said D.A.P. board chair Barbara Keller, who is serving as gala<br />
co-chair for a seventh consecutive year. In her additional role as a community<br />
champion for Get Tested Coachella Valley, she continued, “We are so committed<br />
to helping bring about an AIDS-free generation that we’ve been out, all<br />
over the community, with our #imagineNoAIDS message on Twitter and elsewhere<br />
on social media, like the “digital wall” we’ve created for posting messages,<br />
photos, and videos about what that world without AIDS might look like.”<br />
Mrs. Keller’s gala co-chair for seven years has been Jim Casey, president<br />
and CEO of Integrated Wealth Management, which has been Presenting<br />
Sponsor of “the Steve Chase” for just as many years. “It’s an exciting<br />
challenge to come up with a new show each year, that resonates with the<br />
audience and engages their attention in a really meaningful way that connects<br />
them to D.A.P.’s very important mission of care and prevention, working<br />
toward a world without HIV,” said Casey. “This year, we are so excited to have<br />
the incredible, combined talents of Scott Alan, whose songs have been sung<br />
by the elite of Broadway, who will be working with “So You Think You Can<br />
Dance” choreographer Ray Leeper. They will be under the creative direction<br />
of Live It Up Productions president Trini Garza and his co-creative director<br />
Brandon Alameda who have teamed up to write a very touching story that<br />
will weave through the evening of the gala, using song and dance to interpret<br />
one couple’s story of what it means to live with HIV.”<br />
February 7th will be here before you know it … reserve your tickets or tables<br />
