The annual Academy Awards® Viewing Party has
supported the Elton John AIDS Foundation's efforts to raise
millions for their life-saving work since its inception in
1992, and sold out this year after an unprecedented demand.
All funds raised during the evening will support the
Foundation’s frontline partners to prevent HIV infections,
tackle stigma, and provide compassionate care to the most
vulnerable communities worldwide.
“The Oscar Party is the Foundation’s biggest
night of the year, and I am thrilled to carry on Elton and
my tradition of co-hosting with such dear friends. This year
holds special significance for us as we celebrate the
impactful launch of The Rocket Fund, our award-winning
campaign against HIV-related stigma and discrimination to
bring equitable care to communities most affected by HIV,”
says David Furnish, chair of the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
“By purchasing a ticket and joining us in person, or simply
supporting the Foundation on social media from home, you are
fueling our mission towards a future where everyone has
access to the care and support they deserve.”
“We eagerly
anticipate our return to West Hollywood Park for another
iconic celebration of cinema,” says
Anne Aslett, CEO of Elton John AIDS Foundation. “Movies
have the power to spotlight human stories of struggle,
inequality, hope and love - stories that can change the
world. The Foundation's mission is to share its story in the
fight to defeat AIDS - challenging inequality and stigma,
providing hope and saving lives. Amidst the glitz, glamour
and star studded elegance, we will come together to harness
the magic of cinema and the power of compassion to help
change the world - they bring us closer to an AIDS free
future.”
