We've included a sequence of scenes here captured by our photographer, Robert Holley, at the Benefit Fashion Show, and at the Drag Race. Click the arrow above to sequence through the gallery. The Telluride AIDS Benefit is one of the most unique AIDS fundraising events in the country. The week long event raised over $50,000 during February, 1997. Impressive numbers for a population of less than 2000! The entire town participates in the all-volunteer effort featuring local K -12 educational programs, fundraising receptions, a dance performance, the In-Drag race, local restaurant contributions, and the Benefit Fashion show and Auction. The proceeds will be distributed to the organizations below. Anyone wishing to make a contribution is urged to contact one of the listed representatives.
