AIDS Auction Breaks Record                                         9/12/08

 

 Each year, Crystal Stone holds an auction to raise money for the San Antonio AIDS Foundation’s annual walk.   Fighting HIV/AIDS is personal to her, she lost a sister to the disease.  This year, Ms. Stone broke her previous auction record by $2,000, raising close to $6,500, with items ranging from dinners and hotel stays to signed guitars.

 

The former radio station disc jockey spends the entire year collecting memorabilia from musicians, hotel stays, dinners and whatever else she thinks she can auction and the Bermuda Triangle turns their club over to her for a night.
She even danced for tips and vowed to break dance if she made over $50.
“My old school moves raised over $70,” she laughed.  “It hurt, but it was work brining back Sparky D.”
The SAAF’s annual walk is September 27 at Woodlawn Park.  Funds raised from the auction are donated to the walk.
The SAAF provides in patient care and a hospice for patients with AIDS, assistance with living expenses, testing and educational services.
For more information, call 225-4715.

 

 

The San Antonio AIDS Foundation was a HUGE SUCCESS!!! Thank you to all who participated and sent your thoughts and prayers. We raised over $40,900.00 for SAAF which was well over last years total. I have never seen a team come together so well before. Thanks to all of the volunteers who gave so much of their time. This has been the most fun I have ever had at one of these events. Soon I will have pictures and video for you to enjoy. The best part of the entertainment had to be Sylver and David dancing on stage. I never knew David had moves like that.

Next up will be World AIDS Day on December 1st. For more info go to
