AIDS Law Project's Summer Movie Party with Secret Cinema

While many of us strive to be more philanthropic, the fact that we don't have funds to write high-dollar checks or attend glitzy charity galas may keep us from opening our pockets. That's where the team-up between Philly's AIDS Law Project (ALP) and Jay Schwartz's Secret Cinema comes in. For 10 years, the duo has thrown a Summer Movie Party that raises cash for ALP's mission to provide free legal services to people with HIV and AIDS. With more expensive fundraisers held throughout the year, ALP executive director Ronda Goldfein says this is an opportunity for folks to slip out of their ball gowns for a soirée that gives anyone the chance to give. "We set the ticket price low so people can support us and be a part of what we do," she says about the affair, which typically rakes in a not-so-shabby $2,500 to $3,000.

Because of the support ALP has received from the LGBTQ community in its 22-year existence, Goldfein says many of their events have a gay slant. In May, they threw a drag show at the old Father Divine mansion and the annual movie nights, she laughs, "absolutely have a high-camp quality."
