Golden Rainbow hosted its 25th annual “Ribbon of Life” fundraising spectacular
at Paris Théâtre inside Paris Las Vegas Hotel on Sunday, June 26. Prior to the
show, guests were greeted at the theatre entrance with fancy feather boas to
celebrate the show’s silver anniversary. This year’s “Ribbon of Life” drew a
record-setting crowd with 1,158 people in attendance including Siegfried
Fischbacher from Siegfried & Roy. Hosted by 8 News Now anchor Chris Saldaña
and Edie the Entertainer, each number left the audience curious for more. Hit
acts included “Big Spender” by Fantasy, “The Color Purple” by THE LION KING, Tarzan’s “Everything I Am” by PEEPSHOW headliner and co-star of
E!’s “Holly’s World” Josh Strickland, “Footloose” by Human Nature and Clint
Holmes’ rendition of “West Side Story” which earned a standing ovation from the
crowd, just to name a few.
Following the spectacular,
show attendees enjoyed an after-party at Chateau Nightclub and Gardens and
celebrated with a silent auction, music, cocktails and a cake designed by
Freed’s Bakery of Las Vegas. The benefit raised more $151,000, surpassing the
previous year’s goal by $20,000. Money raised during the event directly
supports Golden Rainbow’s mission to provide housing and financial assistance
to individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS.
