The Body: Visual AIDS -- Benefit at Pavel Zoubok 2005

The March 8 Pavel Zoubok benefit for Visual AIDS was a great success. Over 80 guests attended (on the worst night of the year no less!), including Jeffrey and Tondra Lynford, Isaac Mizrahi, Sarah Bailey (Harper's Bazaar) and Co-Chairs John Lyons (Focus Features), Liz O'Brien, Jamie Drake and Pavel Zoubok. The performances by Christopher Tanner, Lance Cruce, Armen Ra, Benjamin Marcontoni and Brandon Olson were unforgettable and left guests impatient to see the full piece, which will be staged at La MaMa in 2006. To date, the event raised $13,700 for Visual AIDS, a major feat!

We thank Benefit Host Pavel Zoubok and welcome him to the Visual AIDS Board of Directors. Special thanks to Paul Baglio Jr., Julie Brunner-Cross, Arlene Sandler for the events photography, Public New York for design services, Parish & Co., Neibaum-Coppola and Sofia Mini Blanc de Blancs, Malin + Goetz, Harper's Bazaar, all the volunteers, performers, the fabulous Co-Chairs and guests.
