I have a special announcement. I will devote my 65th birthday to a celebration of all HIV/AIDS survivors, and the stars will definitely be out. One of them could be you!
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, December 17th at 8pm ET. The virtual event will stream on most social media platforms. Register free right here at this link.
When I celebrated his 60th birthday five years ago with a live virtual event, guests like Greg Louganis made appearances via special video messages. That included Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish, who commemorated survivors and even sang Happy Birthday! The event also included greetings from survivors and allies just like you. For the 65th birthday event, you can expect even more surprises.
Better yet, the event will raise funds for The Reunion Project, a national network of long-term survivors. Donations are optional when you register but always welcome. The event will stream live on social media pages for The Reunion Project, My Fabulous Disease, POZ Magazine and others. The event will be hosted once again by the hilarious writer and performer Charles Sanchez.
This celebration will lean heavily into the importance of using our voices as people living with HIV/AIDS and our allies. No event such as this can ignore what’s happening in our country and how we can best resist it. Surprise guests will bring just this kind of inspiration.
But wait, there’s more! Why not appear at the party yourself and deliver a message of love and support for long-term survivors? You can submit a brief video message at this link, and we’ll include it in the one-hour show.
There will be a virtual “after party” following the party, where all my guests can interact and hang out. But only registered guests will get a link to the after party so be sure to register. We need to know how many people registered so I bring enough party hats!
