Holiday Help Is On The Way Gala

The Richmond / Ermet AID Foundation is having its "Help is on the Way for the Holidays XVI" concert & gala on Monday December 4th at Marines' Memorial Theater 609 Sutter Street in San Francisco, California benefiting Larkin Street Youth Services & Project Open Hand. This year's gala will feature cast members from the Broadway touring cast of Disney's "Aladdin" plus other special guest stars including "American Idol," recording star Kimberly Locke, 2-time "Star Search" grand champion Jake Simpson, "America's Got Talent" semi-finalist Shawn Ryan, "X-Factor" finalist Jason Brock, Velocity Circus founder/performer Gregangelo, jazz diva Kim Nalley & cabaret stars Leanne Borghesi & Jessica Coker. Kenneth Henderson, Executive Director of the Richmond/Ermet AID Foundation stated, “People think the AIDS epidemic is over & we don't need to pay attention to it anymore. Events like "Help is on the Way" serve not only to raise funds for local AIDS services but to remind people that there's still a need for funding them. More people are living with HIV & AIDS than ever before in history.” A small silent auction will precede the performance followed by the "Club REAF" after party with the cast will take place at the nearby Clift Hotel in the Redwood & Velvet Rooms. The after party will feature an assortment of decadent desserts, wine tastings & special spirit bars. This year honorary chairs are Senator Dianne Feinstein, Mr. Richard Blum, Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom & Senator Scott Weiner.
