“Ribbon of Life” was started 27 years ago by members of the entertainment industry who saw a need for a support system when one of their colleagues faced HIV/AIDS. To raise awareness and money to fight the disease, entertainers organized a show. The show, then called “Golden Rainbow,” led to the creation of the
nonprofitorganization. The annual event is one of the largest HIV/AIDS fundraisers in the state of Nevada and is Golden Rainbow’s main source of revenue.
In 2012, “Ribbon of Life” drew a record-setting crowd of 1,630 during its debut at The Smith Center for the Performing Arts. It raised more than $200,000, topping the previous year by $40,000, for the HIV/AIDS nonprofit. Memorable numbers included “Rhythm Of Life” by Phantom – The Las Vegas Spectacular, “Circle of Life” by children’s group Broadway in The Hood, “Rock of Ages” by the famous Las Vegas Tenors, “Suite From Porgy and Bess” by Clint Holmes and more.
Tickets and sponsorship information will be available for purchase in the coming weeks. All proceeds benefit Golden Rainbow’s mission to provide housing and direct financial assistance to Southern Nevadans living with HIV/AIDS and to support prevention education.
