Saturday, October 18th 2014 Ricardo Montalbán Theatre 1615 Vine St, Hollywood, CA 90028 www.TheMontalban.com “It's one of the best parties in town, where the music raises the roof, the applause pours out like love and tears flow like redemption.” — The Los Angeles Times DIVAS SIMPLY SINGING! is a magical evening of song and entertainment that benefits The DIVA Foundation. This benefit concert event features a host of the entertainment industries most talented women united in song to continue the courageous battle against the spread of HIV/AIDS. Sheryl Lee Ralph’s landmark career started with her portrayal of Deena in the Broadway Musical Dreamgirls back in the 80’s. This proved to be the best of times for Sheryl and also the worst of times. An epidemic was on the rise during that time that would soon change the world forever. In 1990, Sheryl Lee Ralph established The DIVA Foundation 501(c)3 and created DIVAS Simply Singing! as a loving memorial to the many friends she had lost to HIV/AIDS. She used her voice to speak out from those who died in silence and stigma. For 24 consecutive years, Sheryl Lee Ralph and her friends have come together to raise their voices in song and commitment to HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention. Each DIVA performs one song with the sole accompaniment of a concert grand piano. It's like no other show you've seen…The lights, The Mic, and the DIVAS Simply Singing! Every cent of the millions raised through their efforts has gone to help men, women, and children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. Mission ABOUT THE DIVA FOUNDATION? The Diva Foundation is a national not-for-profit 501C(3) charitable organization founded by actress and honored AIDS activist, Sheryl Lee Ralph, in 1990. It is a memorial to the many friends she had lost to HIV/AIDS. The DIVA Foundation stems from Sheryl’s deep concern for the lack of attention given to HIV/AIDS and its potential to become a health risk not only for men, but women and children. The organization focuses on generating resources and coordinating activities to create awareness of and combat against HIV/AIDS. The DIVA Foundation utilizes music, entertainment, and the arts as a vehicle to raise HIV/AIDS awareness, funds, educate people, and help erase the stigma attached to this deadly disease. Goals • To support those who take responsibility for themselves and others by making educated, informed choices, and living a healthy lifestyle. • To advocate for action, understanding that prevention is as important as a cure. • To be a catalyst for change in regard to reversing the negative social perception of this disease. HIV/AIDS is not just a Gay disease, AIDS affects us all. • To help others light the light of compassion as we continue to fight the good fight against HIV/AIDS. • To recognize that men, women, children, young, old, black, white, red, brown, and yellow people must work together in a healthy partnership to solve what is quickly becoming a global pandemic with devastating consequences to us all. • The Diva Foundation is a positive force in the lives of those who are infected and affected by HIV/AIDS by using its voice and sphere of influence to speak up, sing out and take action. • Patti Labelle • Chaka Khan • PAST DIVAS SIMPLY SINGING!
