Fundraiser for AIDS Law Project
The AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania will hold its annual summer-movie party Aug. 15 at the William Way LGBT Community Center, 1315 Spruce St.
“Our annual summer-movie party, now in its 15th year, is a great opportunity to come in out of the heat, have a cold drink and see a cool film,” said agency director Ronda B. Goldfein. “All year long, the AIDS Law Project works on vital civil-rights issues. Our annual party is a chance to focus on the lighthearted joy of a movie musical.”
The event begins at 6 p.m. with light snacks and beverages.
At 7:30, there will be a screening of “Funny Face,” starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. Then Richard Barrios will offer insights from his new book, “Dangerous Rhythm: Why Movie Musicals Matter.”
Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. Raffle tickets also can be purchased (one for $5, three for $10) to win four free tickets, but raffle tickets must be purchased prior to Aug. 8.
Tickets can be purchased at www.aidslawpa.org/upcoming-events or by visiting the agency’s office at 1211 Chestnut St., Suite 600.
