“By hosting a party for D.A.P., Patrick Stewart Properties hopes to increase awareness for the AIDS Walk and raise some money at a time when D.A.P. faces cuts in funding,” said Patrick Jordan, partner at Patrick Stewart Properties.
All money raised at the event will directly benefit D.A.P’s 2009 AIDS Walk. Actively involved with D.A.P. since 2006, Patrick Stewart Properties participates in the annual AIDS Walk and has been instrumental in securing grant money for D.A.P. through the Elton John AIDS Foundation, including a personal donation from Elton John. As “Partners for Life,” Patrick Stewart Properties hopes to raise a total of $20,000 through various fund raising efforts.
