So what is BAR AIDS you ask? It's a fundraising event - with an emphasis on FUN - that will take place in bars and clubs throughout Chicago on Thursday, August 24, 2006. Started in 2004, BAR AIDS is an amazing philanthropic evening in the fight against HIV/AIDS; designed as an effective tool to raise much needed funds for AIDSCARE while drawing new customers and increasing sales to participating bars.
Modeled after the very successful Dining Out for Life program, bars and clubs participating in BAR AIDS will donate a portion of their August 24th sales proceeds to AIDSCARE, a 14-year-old Chicago non-for profit organization helping children, women and men living with HIV/AIDS. Through their housing, care, and support services AIDSCARE assists its residents in achieving a higher quality of life. Not just content with providing housing, AIDSCARE strives to provide a home to the many folks it serves.
Boi Magazine is proud to be a headline sponsor of BAR AIDS and is an enthusiastic supporter of the work that AIDSCARE is doing in the city. So on the night of Thursday August 24, 2006, anyone who is at least 21 years old is encouraged to patronize one of the participating BAR AIDS bars listed below. Pick a place and be sure to invite your friends, family members, and co-workers to join you in a night of fun and fundraising.
