Ribbon of Life will present its 27th
anniversary show on Sunday, June 30, at Las Vegas’s Smith Center. The show is
the main fundraiser for Golden Rainbow, a nonprofit organization that provides
housing and other assistance to HIV-infected individuals in Las Vegas.
This year’s show is titled
“Tributes” and will include numbers that pay respect to Broadway, film, comedy,
hip-hop, and pop music. The Golden Rainbow board of directors decides the theme
and chooses which local artists to include. This year, they had to choose 12
performers from the 40 submissions they received.
This year’s chosen performers include
headliner and Grammy-winner Jon Secada; Michael Grimm, winner of the fifth
season of “America’s Got Talent”; Clint Holmes; Josh Strickland; George
Wallace; Las Vegas Tenors; the Phat Pack; Wes Winters; “Jubilee!” members; and
others.
Golden Rainbow uses the funds for a
permanent housing program for people living with HIV/AIDS, rent, mortgages,
reduced co-pays, and much more for 500 people. Last year’s show raised more
than $200,000.
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.
