This outrageously fun holiday-themed event features performances by future drag all-stars, dinner by Pasquale’s, DJ music by Dangerboy, and a guest speaker from Love Heals. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for non-students, all to benefit HVCS. Our Project INFORM team will be on hand with sexual health info, condoms, lube and other goodies, too.

Hudson Valley AIDS Walk Pre- and After-Parties

Wednesday, April 13th, 2016

AIDS Walk & Run Pre-Party: Funny T-Shirt ContestWe’re turning up the springtime heat with two amazing events to bookend the Big Event (our Hudson Valley AIDS Walk & Run, which happens on Saturday, May 7, 2016).

One week before the Wall/Run, join us for “Get Your Shirt Together!” a new pre-registration party at Chill Wine Bar in Beacon. Wear your funniest t-shirt (it’s OK if it’s inappropriate!) to enter the Funniest T-Shirt Contest, with prizes for the overall funniest, best duo or group shirts, and most vulgar. Your fellow guests will be the judges so go with your most crowd-pleasing tee!

Plus, if you’re a registered Walker or Runner you can pick up your official 2016 t-shirt in advance, or register on the spot and get your tee and fundraising packet all at once. Donate $5 and have access to the Shirt Decorating Bar, which will be stocked with paint, markers, stick-on jewels, and other fun items.

DJ duo Prephab plays fun dance music and classics, and a portion of your bar tab will be donated to the AIDS Walk/Run. There is a $5 suggested donation at the door.

Blake Lively Dresses for Sale


 

After the Walk/Run, join us at River Station, a waterfront restaurant in downtown Poughkeepsie, for Heels for Hope, the official AIDS Walk/Run afterparty featuring a drag showcase and a new dinner buffet! For $40, enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet and reserve your seat for the cavalcade of drag performers. Stick around after the show for dancing with Prephab and Superior Sounds. Seating is limited and there will only be a few standing-room show-only tickets available at the door, so head on over to http://heelsforhope2016.eventbrite.com for advance tickets!
