Bayou City
Boys Club (BCBC), a Houston based non profit organization, is proud
to announce the amount raised from Jungle 16. The event raised a total of $45,500 in proceeds. The
proceeds were donated to eight beneficiaries at an event
held at the Lovett Inn.. The beneficiaries included:
-
AIDS Foundation
Houston-Stone Soup Assistance Program,
-
Association for the Advancement of Mexican Americans,
-
Bering Omega Community Services,
-
Houston
Buyers Club,
-
Montrose
Counseling Center,
-
Pet
Patrol,
-
Southeast
Texas Legal Clinic,
-
Thomas
Street Clinic.
Each of these Houston-area
organizations provides direct services to persons afflicted with or
affected by HIV/AIDS.
As in the past, the cost of the main event was completely
underwritten by generous individual underwriters and corporate
sponsors, allowing the organization to donate all of the proceeds
from main event ticket sales to the beneficiaries. BCBC's weekend
partners donate a portion of the door proceeds from the events that
they produce.
BCBC is a nonprofit, all volunteer organization whose mission is to
raise money for Houston area HIV/AIDS service providers, research
and education.
