<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The seventh annual benefit for the AIDS
Taskforce of Greater Cleveland and the Community AIDS Network,</font>
<br>
<div align=center>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><b>"SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE!"</b></font></div>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">is quickly approaching! While
AIDS may no longer be front-page news, it continues to be a serious health
crisis. Last Saturday, the Centers for Disease Control released a
report estimating the number of new HIV infections at 56,000 annually --
a significant increase over previous estimates. Many of us have lost
friends, family members, lovers or colleagues to AIDS, and most of us know
someone who is living with HIV today (whether we realize it or not).
The AIDS Taskforce and CAN continue to fight the spread of HIV through
education and outreach efforts, while also providing housing, counseling,
medical care and a variety of other services to those living with HIV.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">As a socially-engaged member of the
Northeast Ohio performing arts community, you may be asking yourself, "How
can I help in the fight against AIDS?" Here are five steps that
you can take:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1) Come to a performance of "Schoolhouse
Rock LIVE!" -- you'll be making a donation to the AIDS Taskforce
or CAN and having a fun at the same time! The first performance is
on <b>Monday, August 25</b> at 8:00 at Cassidy Theatre (6200 Pearl Road
in Parma Heights), where the $25 ticket price goes to the AIDS Taskforce.
Call the Taskforce at 216-357-2223 for tickets. In Akron, the
show will be presented on <b>Monday and Tuesday, September 8 and 9</b>
at 7:30, at Weathervane Community Playhouse (1301 Weathervane Lane
in the Merriman Valley). Tickets to the Akron performances are $20
to benefit CAN, and can be purchased from the Weathervane box office at
330-836-2323. You can also get tickets at the door at either venue.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2) Help spread the word about our benefit
production! Do you run a theatre, performance venue or school that
operates during the month of August? We'd love to have some of our
flyers in your lobby (e-mail jenniver_sparano@keybank.com and we'll get
some flyers to you)! Are you a director with a show in rehearsal
in late August/early September? Why not cancel rehearsal for the
night of the benefit performance and encourage your cast to attend the
show! Do you edit or publish a newsletter, blog, website, magazine
or other communications channel? It would be great to have the benefit
mentioned in your pubication (e-mail jenniver_sparano@keybank.com for a
press release with all of the details).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">3) Donate something for the "Schoolhouse
Rock" raffle that we'll be holding at each of the benefit performances!
Whether it be tangible goods, gift certificates for services,
tickets for shows -- any raffle prizes are welcome, and tax deductible!
All money raised in the raffle goes directly to the AIDS Taskforce
and CAN, and the donors will be graciously acknowledged in print and announced
during the raffle drawings. So it's a great way to help the cause
and get new customers! Contact Megan DePetro (megandepetro@gmail.com)
to donate raffle prizes for the Cleveland performance, or Pete Nervo (ovren@aol.com)
to donate prizes for the Akron raffle.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">4) Participate in the Dr. John Carey
Memorial AIDS Walk on October 4, 2008. Start a team, join a team,
or sponsor someone who is walking! You can learn more at www.cleveland.com/AIDSwalk.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">5) Most importantly, learn more about
AIDS/HIV -- get the facts, get tested, and make sure that you protect yourself
and those you love from the spread of HIV. </font>
<br>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">You may not feel like one person can
make a difference against AIDS, but each small step that each of us takes
is a step in the right direction!<br>
