Oklahoma AIDS Care Fund announces Red Tie Night 2019
The Oklahoma AIDS Care Fund (OACF) will host the 27th “Red Tie Night” on Saturday, March 9, 2019 at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. The gala will begin with cocktails at 6 p.m., followed by dinner, an extravagant silent and live auction, and dancing to the music from Dallas’ hottest dance band, the Jordan Kahn Orchestra.
Chairing the event this year are Wendy and Ethan House. Wendy has served as a member of the Board of Directors for the Oklahoma AIDS Care Fund since 2017 and is Vice President of the Fred Jones Family Foundation. Ethan is the Vice President of Business Development for the Mid-Continent Region at EnergyNet.
“We are thrilled to have the leadership of Wendy and Ethan House this year,” said Paula Love, OACF Board President. “New HIV transmissions and AIDS-related deaths are on the rise in Oklahoma. Now more than ever, we need our community to support Red Tie Night and help us end the epidemic.”
The first planning meeting kicked off at the home of Roxanne and Ryan McDonald in their brownstone located in historic Deep Deuce. The reception highlighted the goals for the committee and the 2019 gala details. Proceeds from Red Tie Night will support the mission of the Oklahoma AIDS Care Fund to provide support, education, advocacy and resources to end the HIV and AIDS epidemic.
