The
Elton John AIDS Foundation is pleased to
announce Elton John and chairman of the Elton
John AIDS Foundation David Furnish’s return as
hosts for the 31 st annual Elton John AIDS
Foundation Academy Awards® Viewing Party on
Sunday, March 12, 2023.
EMMY® Award-winning actor Eric McCormack and
Golden Globe® Award-winning actress Michaela Jaé
Rodriguez will join the iconic event as special
guests, with singer-songwriter and actress Rina
Sawayama set to perform.
Additional talent names taking part in the
evening will be announced in the coming weeks.
Presenting Sponsors of the party include Bob and
Tamar Manoukian, NEURO Drinks, Chopard, ELTON
JOHN EYEWEAR, Gilead Sciences, A+E Networks,
Cheryl and Haim Saban and Robert K. Kraft.
“I am overjoyed to be reuniting with old and new
friends on one of my favourite nights of the
year, especially after missing last year’s
viewing party due to an unfortunate clash of
schedules with my 'Farewell Yellow Brick Road'
tour,” says Sir Elton John, Founder, Elton John
AIDS Foundation.
“As always, I am so appreciative of every
attendee, donor and sponsor who continues to
support the Foundation’s work across the globe
in the fight to end AIDS. With such meaningful
generosity, we can make a healthier and more
inclusive world.” Since the inception of the
Academy Awards Viewing Party in 1992, the event
has supported the Elton John AIDS Foundation's
efforts to raise millions for their life-saving
work.
All funds raised during the evening will support
the Foundation’s network of partners and local
experts across four continents to challenge
discrimination, prevent infections and provide
treatment as well as influence governments to
end AIDS. “Elton and I are looking forward to
the Foundation’s milestone event celebrating our
achievements with so many supporters and allies,
but more importantly, raising much-needed
awareness and funds for the innovative work that
the Foundation is doing to end the AIDS
epidemic,” says David Furnish, chairman of the
Elton John AIDS Foundation.
“With rising new HIV infections and the tragic
and needless loss of lives in many parts of the
world, the support of our work is more crucial
than ever.” “While we’ve seen tremendous
progress since the Foundation’s inception 31
years ago, the current, troubling state of the
world brings risk of relapse, and there is still
much work ahead,” says Anne Aslett, CEO of Elton
John AIDS Foundation.
“By supporting our annual Elton John AIDS
Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party, you are
directly helping us maintain services by
providing access, agency, care, and justice to
those who need it the most - the LGBTQ+
community, people who sell sex or use drugs, and
young people who lack the information or agency
to protect themselves.”
The Foundation is especially grateful to Judy
and Leonard Lauder for serving as the evening’s
Co-Sponsors, the City of West Hollywood for its
continued collaboration, our official airline
partner, American Airlines and our spirits
partner Tequila Don Julio.
