ATTENTION PROMOTERS 
WORLD AIDS DAY CAMPAIGN 2009
Last year, 24 promoters in 19 cities came together around World AIDS Day to show their solidarity for the millions of African children being left in the wake of AIDS.  Responding to NextAid's call to action, they raised $25,000 and reached hundreds of thousands of people. 

In 2009, we are inviting YOU to be apart of this growing network of music activists!

As a promoter, artist, or venue, you still have time to add your event to our 2009 campaign, and help bring people together for a purpose. By incorporating NextAid's mission into an already planned event during the month of December and donating a percentage of the proceeds to this campaign, you will transform the party into an important statement of hope.

To find out more about this opportunity please contact worldaidsday@nextaid.org 
Deadline for commitment to participate is October 15th.
