A Palm Springs-based nonprofit will host a star-studded dinner and storytelling fundraiser later this year, with proceeds supporting its nutritional voucher program for low-income residents living with HIV/AIDS and other chronic illnesses.
“Hollywood Dine and Dish IV: Tinsel Town Tales Too Hot to Print” will be held at 6 p.m. Oct. 30 at a private residence in Palm Springs. The address will be provided upon RSVP, according to organizers.
Hosted in partnership with photographer Michael Childers, the fundraiser will benefit AAP – Food Samaritans’ ongoing mission to provide nutritional support throughout the Coachella Valley.
“When Michael first created this event for us in 2013, we were overwhelmed by the response,” Mark Anton, executive director of AAP – Food Samaritans, said in a statement.
“Since then, audiences have been dazzled by Jackie Collins, Judy Tenuta, Ruta Lee, Sharon McNight, and the incomparable Bruce Vilanch. This year promises to be even more outrageous, salacious and hilarious.”
This year’s event will feature fine dining, live storytelling and appearances by drag icon Coco Peru, comedian Caroline Rhea and comedy writer Bruce Vilanch, organizers said.
Tickets are $500 per person. For more information or to RSVP, visit www.aidsassistance.org/.
