The second-annual Bar AIDS brought out those supporting the fight against HIV/AIDS to a number of bars and coffeeshops Aug. 25, including the heads of agencies benefiting from the event: Kevin Burns from Action AIDS (from left), Jane Shull from Philadelphia FIGHT, Nurit Shein from Mazzoni Center and Ronda Goldfein from AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania. While fundraising numbers were not yet available, Action AIDS development director Michael Byrne said turnout was higher than in the event’s inaugural year, and a number of new venues participated this time around. “It went really great,” Byrne said. “People were out in the bars and in the coffeeshops, having a good time. We had more places participating, but it didn’t look like that made our numbers at each place any less.” Photo: Scott Drake
