The Sacramento Red Dress Party is an annual community tradition brought to Sacramento in 2012 that attracts over 400 people as diverse as Sacramento itself. It creates an atmosphere of pure fun--with dancing and music, spirits and laughs--that provides a backdrop for the true purpose of the Red Dress Party, a chance for supporters from every walk of life to unite behind one goal to improve the health and wellness of our community and end the HIV/AIDS epidemic. With every single attendee adorned in a signature-colored red dress, the Sacramento Red Dress Party, the power of our collective statement of positive change is unmistakable.
Funds raised support organizations that work to increase the number of young people being tested regularly, provide the opportunity for education, encourage playing safe, provide access to the peer and professional level support those who are affected need to get into care and stay healthy. We strive to increase safe sex practices, reduce suicide attempts, provide a safe, welcoming, and knowledge rich environment to access health and wellness resources for program participants.
This year's beneficiaries are the Sacramento LGBT Community Center and Sunburst Projects.
