Dance for AIDS ‘96 Set for Pride Weekend

BURLINGTON -- Pride Weekend continues this
year with DANCE FOR AIDS ‘96, a DJ/dance
party and carnival benefiting HIV prevention
projects statewide.

“It’s built loosely on the Gay Men’s Health Crisis
AIDS Dance—a—thon model,” says Vermont
CARES Men’s Health Project Coordinator Chris
Tebbetts. “It’s not a dance marathon, but it is a
chance for people to show their support by
gathering or giving pledges, or just by being
there.” The day will feature dancing, live
entertainment, carnival games, food, and prize
giveaways.

For every $25 in pledges raised, individuals will
have their names entered into a raffle for a variety
of prizes donated by local businesses.
Organizations are being solicited to support the
effort by sponsoring their own carnival booths.
Proceeds from the event will go to the Men’s
Health Project, ACORN’s HIV Prevention and

Education program, and Brattleboro Area AIDS,

Project’s “Hot for Life” Men’s Program.

In addition, 10% of the donations will go towards
1997 GLBT Pride activities. “We want this to be
an integral part of Pride weekend,” says Robert
Toms of 135 Pearl, a co—sponsor of the event. “We
also want to help get things started next year. The
‘96 Pride committee had a zero balance going into
it this year, and it’s been a challenge for them.”

dancing.

Most of the money from the
event will go to education and
prevention projects specifically
for men who have sex with men
(MSM). Though this population
is widely known to be deeply
affected by the AIDS epidemic,
it continues to struggle for
funding that reflects the
disproportionate impact in the
community. Says Tebbetts, “The
emergency is not over. In the
past three years in the U.S.,
115,000 MSM were diagnosed
with AIDS, up from 75,000 in
the previous three years. I hope
this event can be a positive way
for everyone in the community
to express their renewed and
ongoing commitment.”

Dance for AIDS ‘96 will take
place outside of 135 Pearl in
Burlington on Sunday, June 16,
2:00-6:00 PM. It is free and
open to the public. For a pledge
sheet, or for more information on
sponsoring a carnival booth, call
