LOS ANGELES — Wicked Pictures contract performer Jessica Drake is calling on the media and industry members to join Team Wicked in its effort to raise funds for and increase awareness of AIDS charities at AIDS Walk Los Angeles.
The event will be held at 10 a.m. on October 21 at Grand Park in Downtown L.A.
“It is a passion of mine to raise funds and awareness about the impact of HIV and AIDS,” Drake says. “I am calling on our industry colleagues and friends to join us at AIDS Walk Los Angeles and to make a difference in many people's lives. I hope to see everyone on October 21.”
With last year’s donations reaching nearly $14,000, Team Wicked has raised more than $106,000 over the last six years, making it one of the top fundraising teams at the annual benefit presented by AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA). Each year, Team Wicked is comprised of adult stars and personalities from the adult industry who are dedicated to raising AIDS awareness and vital funds for AIDS charities.
“Team Wicked continues every year solely from the caring and dedication to the cause of Jessica,” says Wicked Pictures’ owner Steve Orenstein. “We thank her and everyone that supports us by walking, donating or both.”
The AIDS Walk was developed by Craig R. Miller in 1984, during the height of the AIDS epidemic. Since 1985, AIDS Walk Los Angeles has drawn over a half-million participants who have collectively raised more than $72 million for APLA, serving as a model of grassroots fundraising and community activism for organizations across the United States.
