Forever Red
In April OutBoise Magazine released April’s
“Artists. Allies. ALPHA.” issue, which featured several local artists. Behind the scenes,
though, we were helping ALPHA(Allies Linked
for the Prevention of HIV and AIDS) put together a fundraiser.
Every year, ALPHA has hosted an annual
awards event, typically in the fall, to recognize
individuals in the community who work tirelessly to help with HIV treatment, education,
and prevention.
This year, instead of holding the event in the
fall, Executive Director Chris Bidiman chose to
go for an early afternoon brunch, which was
held Sunday May 1 at Beside Bardenay.
The intimate gathering brought out an intimate crowd, where food and beverages, and
plenty of works of art were on display.
In total, they were able to raise nearly $1,100
from their silent art auction, many of who were
in the April issue, as well.
