Bar AIDS 2009 (Event Over)

AIDSCare's 6th Annual "Bar AIDS" event in Chicago is on Thursday, August 27, 2009. 

20 participating bars will donate a portion of their proceeds to benefit AIDSCare's mission of bridging sickness to health, homelessness to permanent housing, and poverty to self-sufficiency for individuals and families overcoming life challenging conditions. 

Volunteer Ambassadors - including those from local sports teams and corporate groups - are partnering with area bars to host an exciting evening of good friends, fabulous prizes, and one cause: to support the HIV/AIDS community with compassion and care. Raffle prizes include two round-trip tickets for a tropical vacation donated by Orbitz, skydiving for two and overnight stays at luxurious Chicago hotels. 

Since 1992, AIDSCare has been dedicated to caring for the HIV/Aids community. Now in its 17th year, AIDSCare's Programs have assisted over 300 homeless and low-income children, families and adults living with AIDS to achieve stable housing, improve wellness and transition toward greater independence.
