  • Chicago Is Dining out for Life, April 24 by Gopride.Com News Staff April 24, 2014
    ChicagoPride.com News April 24, 2014 Chicago is Dining Out for Life, April 24 By GoPride.com News Staff April 24, 2014 https://chicago.gopride.com/news/article.cfm/articleid/56145169 3,000 restaurants nationwide participating in Dining Out for Life CHICAGO, IL -- On Thursday, April 24, over 3,000 restaurants nationwide will be donating a portion of their proceeds to HIV/AIDS related organizations as part of Dining Out for Life. Dining Out for Life began in Philadelphia in 1991 and has since grown into an international event held in cities across North America, raising an average $4 million annually. Each restaurant donates a percentage of the day's food sales, which goes to local organizations to fund care, prevention, education, testing, counseling and other essential HIV/AIDs services. In Chicago, EdgeAlliance's Dining Out for Life campaign celebrates 21 years of helping men, women and children impacted by HIV/AIDS by partnering with local restaurants. Participating restaurants around Chicago will donate a portion of their proceeds to EdgeAlliance, allowing its residents to sustain healthy lives through affordable housing and programming. In 2013, more than 8,000 diners and over 80 Chicago restaurants raised $115,000. This year, there are over 55 restaurants participating locally. "I've always been a big fan of the event, and before opening a restaurant, I've been a patron of the night," Taverna 750 owner Paul Cannella told ChicagoPride.com. "I'm a big fan of any fundraising activities that involve eating, drinking, spending time with friends, all while raising money for a great cause.

    “IT’S JUST THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME, I FEEL… WICKED”: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF WICKED’S ELPHABA USING KENNETH BURKE’S GUILT-PURIFICATION-REDEMPTION CYCLE by Patricia C. Foreman A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Communication Studies at Liberty University May 2013 Foreman 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost, to “my Dearest, Darlingest Momsy and Popsicle,” and to my brother Gary, thank you so much for your constant support, encouragement, direction and love. I appreciate your words of wisdom and advice that always seem to be just what I need to hear. To each of my fellow graduate assistants, thank you for “dancing through life” with me. Thank you for becoming not only co-workers, but also some of my best friends. To my thesis committee – Dr. William Mullen, Dr. Faith Mullen, and Dr. Lynnda S. Beavers – thank you all so much for your help. This finished thesis is, without a doubt, the “proudliest sight” I’ve ever seen, and I thank you for your time, effort and input in making this finished product a success. Finally, to Mrs. Kim, and all of my fellow “Touch of Swing”-ers, who inspired my love of the Wicked production, and thus, this study. For the long days of rehearsals, even longer nights on tour buses, and endless hours of memories that I’ll not soon forget... “Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better? I do believe I have been changed for the better. And because I knew you, I have been changed for good.” Foreman 3 In Memory Of… Lauren Tuck May 14, 1990 – September 2, 2010 “It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime, so let me say before we part, so much of me is made of what I learned from you.

  • Aids Walk Philly & Aids Run Philly to Raise
    For Press Information ONLY: Cari Feiler Bender, Relief Communications, LLC 610-527-7673 or [email protected] AIDS WALK PHILLY & AIDS RUN PHILLY TO RAISE FUNDS, AWARENESS 25 th Annual Event Continues the Fight for HIV/AIDS in Philadelphia Region PHILADELPHIA – September 7, 2011 − For 25 years, AIDS Walk Philly has raised funds for HIV/AIDS service organizations in the Greater Philadelphia Region, and on Sunday, October 16, 2011, the 25th Annual AIDS Walk Philly & AIDS Run Philly presented by Merck continues the fight. One in five Americans infected with HIV don’t know it. Philadelphians can make a difference in the fight against HIV and AIDS by participating in AIDS Walk Philly, which will bring together nearly 15,000 people to raise money for HIV prevention education, public awareness, and HIV care services here in the Greater Philadelphia region. Walk and run beginning at the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Run along the certified 5K route on Martin Luther King Drive at 8am. Walk along the 12K route, beginning along Kelly Drive at 9am and returning on Martin Luther King Drive. Right in our own backyard, thirty thousand of our friends, family, and neighbors live with HIV, a condition for which they are often judged and misunderstood. In 15 years, the rate of infection has not decreased. The 25 th Annual AIDS Walk Philly will also be a time to reflect over the past 25 years of the fundraising event as well as 30 years that the epidemic has existed. Robb Reichard, Executive Director of AIDS Fund , explains that part of the mission of the Walk is to give Philadelphians a better understanding of current HIV/AIDS facts.

Thanks and love especially to my Mom who always encouraged me to be creative and queer – far before I knew what that really meant. If I have any talent for teaching it undoubtedly comes from seeing her as a passionate elementary school teacher growing up. I am very thankful that my 92-year-old grandma still gets to see her youngest grandchild graduate and finally get a “real job.” I know it’s taking a big worry off of her. There are already several medical doctors in the family, now you can add a Doctor of Philosophy to the list. I promise I will come home to visit again soon. Thanks also to my sister, Kim who has been there through the ups and downs, and made sure I stayed on track when things were falling apart. To my dad, thank you for encouraging me to follow my dreams even if I chased them some 3,000 miles across the ocean. To my Minneapolis ersatz family, the Kasellas – thank you for giving me a home away from home over the past five years.
