'Evening Under the Stars' is the AIDS Assistance Program's cornerstone annual gala fundraiser that yearly generates a major portion of the operating budget for our Food Voucher Program for low-income men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS here in the Coachella Valley. Our past year's galas have accounted for over half of our food voucher expenses each year. 2010's gala will be the 17th year for gala fundraising event, which the local Desert Sun newspaper has called "The Jewel of the Desert's fundraising Season".
