Mondo Guerra, fashion designer and
AIDS advocate, will reveal new T-shirt designs to benefit the Philadelphia
nonprofit organization Action AIDS at the Fashion in Action function on
Valentine’s Day at the Hotel Palomar. He will also dress models in three
one-of-a kind designs that will be auctioned at the event. Guerra revealed that
he was HIV-positive during the “Project Runway” competition in 2010. He stated
that he had no idea that it would result in his working for AIDS organizations,
but he was inspired by the outpouring of love and support he received.
Funds raised by the T-shirts will
support Dining Out for Life, the annual restaurant fundraiser that began in
1991 and has expanded to more than 60 cities. Dining Out expects approximately
200 local restaurants to participate in this year’s event on April 26. The
restaurants will donate a third of the day’s receipts to Action AIDS. Tickets
for Fashion in Action are available at ActionAIDS.org and information about
Dining Out for Life is available at diningoutforlife.com.
The Friends of AIDS Foundation is
dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for HIV positive individuals and
empowering people to make healthy choices to prevent the spread of the HIV
virus. To learn more about The Friends of AIDS Foundation, please visit: http://www.friendsofaids.org.
