Dream Halloween Campaign
The Foundation's premiere fundraising effort is Dream Halloween, kid-friendly costume parties held in October in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York.
What is Dream Halloween? Since 1993, The Children Affected by AIDS Foundation has raised millions through its nationally recognized Dream Halloween special events. These events were created for a very special reason – to provide children with a safe,secure opportunity to enjoy Halloween through an experience that goes far beyond a child’s imagination. The goal of the events is to create an experience that exemplifies what every child would dream of when celebrating Halloween.
Now, Dream Halloween is a unique national awareness and fundraising campaign launched annually in October to expand the efforts of the foundation. Incorporating the signature events with corporate cause marketing efforts, a full media campaign and innovative new fundraising initiatives, Dream Halloween will highlight the unique work of the foundation and provide new opportunities to support the mission of the organization. The nation will be invited to join the campaign and dream…Dream of a day when all children living with HIV/AIDS are living happy and healthy lives. Dream of a day without HIV/AIDS. Dream of a day when all children are safe and free from harm.
Comedy, laughter and hope! This is the foundation for CAAF’s A Night of Comedy annual event. Long time CAAF supporter, Doris Roberts hosts the event and Ray Romano serves as Master of Ceremonies. Past years have seen the likes of comedians such as Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, Sarah Silverman, Drew Carey, Kathy Griffin, George Lopez, Lily Tomlin, Gary Shandling, Wayne Brady, Bryan Callen…the list goes on.
In addition to its major events, the Foundation accepts donations year-round on its Web site and by other means.
