“Encourage citizens to be tested and create a line item budget to help our community.”

Jill Rips, Deputy Executive Director, talks to SA4mayor.com as the SAAF prepares for their biggest fundraiser “The Webb Party” tomorrow evening at the San Antonio Museum of Art. More than 3000 people are expected in a LA, NY only style extravaganza which organizers will net over $100,000 to help Aids patients in San Antonio. STAY TUNED: that story coming up next! and Tomorrow SA4Mayor.com will webCast live from the event! NOW POSTED HERE

The SAAF is located in Sheila McNeil’s District. Word is the council woman is yet to meet to learn more about their needs. Diane Cibrian, however, in her City Council role has met with the group already. It’s not confirmed if any of the Mayoral candidates will attend the benefit. During at least one community forum, some of the candidates, including Julian Castro and Diane Cibrian have expressed their support of Gay rights in San Antonio.
