Chicago LGBT Howard Brown Heath Center in Serious Financial Troubles
Chicago’s Howard Brown Center , which provides health services to the city’s LGBT community, is facing a potential shut down of its services over alleged financial mismanagement by the organization’s top officers. The Center provides primary health services to over 6000 LGBT Citizens in the Chicago area, many of whom with HIV and AIDS.
The Chicago Tribune reports, that Jamal Edwards, who was appointed president and CEO of the organization in June when two top executives were dismissed after an National Institutes of Health audit found they had mishandled the Centers funds, said Howard Brown will need to raise
$500,000 over 50 days and an additional $500,000 next year or risk closing its doors!
.
A U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ office of inspector general report found more than $3 million in grant funds, part of the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study, or MACS, which has tracked thousands of men both infected with HIV and not infected with HIV since the mid-1980s, was used between 2006 and March of this year to cover general operating expenses at Howard Brown.
Staff members have agreed to sacrifice paychecks if necessary, and he’s confident the community will rally behind Howard Brown.

PAWS Chicago 8th Annual Beach Party A Huge Success
Despite the economy and the threats of stormy weather, last nights PAWS Chicago beach party was a smashing success! 500 humans and 200 animals raised $250,000! We ate, we drank, we danced and raised money for our furry friends in need.
PAWS Chicago is the midwests largest NO KILL shelter! 4,000 dedicated volunteers enable the organization to continue to save lives and expand services. Since PAWS Chicago’s founding in 1997, the number of homeless dogs and cats killed annually has dropped more than 50 percent. PAWS is working to build a No Kill Chicago—a city where pets are no longer destroyed just because they are homeless.
PAWS Chicago will find new homes for more than 4,000 homeless pets in 2010 through the state-of-the-art Adoption & Humane Center in Lincoln Park. The cageless Adoption Center provides homeless pets with the care and dignity they deserve while welcoming adopters, providing them with guidance in selecting their new pet and continued support for life.
It is such a great organization. And I met some of the newly adopted dogs last night. Dogs have SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE! If you are considering a pet, check out PAWS. They have loving cats and dogs that need homes.
If you missed the Beach Party, upcoming events include ANGELS WITH TAILS happening this weekend. Angels with Tails is Chicagoland’s premiere adoption event that brings together local businesses, people, shelters and pets in an effort to find families for many homeless pets. Sunday, July 25th Noon to 4:00 p.m. in the West Loop Area (Madison St. between Peoria & Racine).
PAWS Run/Walk happens September 26th. And the FUR BALL in December is Chicago’s premier pet-friendly black tie gala will draw more than 750 guests at famous Drake Hotel, many escorted by their canine companions.
Chicago Red Dress Party Moved to 2011
The hottest event of the Fall season
is being delayed, just a bit!
The new date is
APRIL 16th, 2011
CHICAGO RED DRESS PARTY .
While it’s hard to trace the roots of a long standing tradition we’ll do our best to bring you the history of this grand standing event. In the early 1990’s two gentlemen were dating when they both contracted HIV/AIDS.
To show their love and dedication they vowed when one of them passed away the other would attend their funeral adorned in a red dress. From this promise the concept of the Red Dress Party began. Currently there are Red Dress Parties all over the United States from Seattle, Washington to Chicago, IL. Oh and yes… You must wear a red dress to attend!
Equality Project (EQPR) was founded in 2008. EQPR sets out to create innovative social interactions that focus on social consciousness and advocacy. Since the inception we have produced such events as StonewallForty, Equalityoga and Equalitybowl. EQPR is proud to have worked with many organizations and individuals including Lambda Legal, Equal Rights Washington, Gay City Health Project and State Senator Ed Murray. In 2009 Equality Project relocated to Chicago, Illinois.
More details later this year.

Richard Cordova and Richards Riders Break Fund Raising Records for the Chicago Ride For AIDS
Ride for AIDS Chicago is a two-day, 190-mile, bicycling event created by volunteers and designed to raise needed monies for TPAN and Community Partners.
This year the event is happening July 10-11.
Each rider is asked to raise a minimum of $1,000 and crew $500 in pledges to participate.
Unlike other rides of this kind, Ride for AIDS Chicago is committed to returning 100% of your pledges to the beneficiaries.
One determined crew leader happens to be a dear friend of ours, Richard Cordova . Earlier this year, Richard set quite an ambitious goal for the 2010 Ride For AIDS. He really hoped and wanted his 21-person team to raise $30,000 for the event’s sponsor/promoter—Test Positive Aware Network ( TPAN ) —which would set the record for most money ever raised by a team.
As of last week, THEY DID IT!
“I knew that $30,000 was a lofty goal, but with so many people on the team I was really hoping we could rally enough support for such a great cause and make our goal,” said Cordova, 32, a gay Lakeview resident who will be participating in his third ride. He has also run five marathons ( 26.2 miles each ) and three half-marathons ( 13.1 miles ) .
Cordova, who has a boyfriend, is a health educator at the Center on Halsted; he also is a spinning instructor at the Lakeview Athletic Club.
Cordova’s team, appropriately dubbed Richard’s Riders, has members in their 20s, 30s and 40s. There are grad students, flight attendants and business owners. There also are professionals in education management, finance, advertising, insurance, non-profits and more.
Richard’s Riders is one of the bigger teams ever in the history of the ride and each member has their own reason for participating in the grueling gig, Cordova said.
With the race just 9 days away, Richard is still knocking on doors!
JUST IN THE LAST WEEK, 4 MORE RIDERS HAVE JOINED RICHARD’S
TEAM AND THEIR NEW GOAL IS $40,000, WITH THE CLOCK TICKING!
Cordova says, “My team would love it if the kind and benevolent LGBTQ community could find it in their hearts and their wallets by helping us support Test Positive Aware Network ( TPAN ) through a donation. No matter how big or small; every bit counts. Whether it be information dissemination, outreach, testing and prevention, and positive living support groups and more, TPAN is on the front lines every day helping those, myself included, who are living their best life possible with HIV/AIDS. We ride to do our part and when you make a decision to support our ride you are doing yours. Thank You!”
Help Richard reach a new goal and shatter all records!
DONATE NOW!
Just add a couple bucks to the pile and make this
2010 THE BEST RIDE EVER for Richard and TPAN!
We applaud you and your team, Richard!
