MCC-Longview's Gay-Straight Alliance host drag show benefiting AIDS Walk KC


MCC-Longview’s Gay-Straight Alliance is hosting the campus’s first ever Drag Show competition. Everyone is invited to come support this great student organization and their efforts to raise money for AIDS Walk Kansas City.

The show will be at 8 p.m. on Thursday, March 10, in the Mel Aytes Education Center.  There is a suggested donation of $3 at the door.

In April of 2010, nearly 4,000 people participated in AIDS WALK Kansas City and raised over $516,000 for the brave men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS in our hometown. To date, there has not been one cure and HIV/AIDS infection is on the increase. In Kansas City, more than 5,700 people live with HIV/AIDS, 700 of those being between the ages of 13 and 24.

Therefore, the 23rd annual AIDS WALK, presented by the AIDS Service Foundation of Greater Kansas City, will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2011, at Theis Park, just south of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Registration opens at 8 a.m, Welcoming Ceremonies commence at 9:00 am and we walk at 10 a.m.
