Going Once, Twice - SOLD!

On November 18, the Southern California Cable and Telecommunication Association (SCCTA) held its Annual Dinner. A special live auction was held, led by CableFAX Daily columnist and industry stalwart Paul Maxwell and Cable Positive Southern California Chapter co-chair Bob Gold , Bob Gold& Associates, to benefit Cable Positive and SCCTA. With fierce bidding, the auction raised $5,150 which was split between the two organizations. In addition, Cable Positive Southern California co-chair Craig Watson, Charter, shrewdly negotiated a cost reduction in the dinner venue supplementing the money raised for Cable Positive by $3,000. Cable Positive's Steve Villano attended the event, stating "this is a perfect example of how working collaboratively in the fight against HIV and AIDS can make a huge impact." Through this partnership and donation, SCCTA has become a 2005 charter member of the Southern California Chapter.

Cable Fights AIDS: Hollywood Style
Moomba, Los Angeles, CA
June 27, 2002

Former Playboy Playmate Rebekka Armstrong hosted Cable Positive’s Southern California Chapter National HIV Testing Day fundraising event at “Moomba” in West Hollywood, CA on June 27. The evening was a hit as comedians Maria Bramford and Kivi Rogers kept the crowd laughing while Big Bad Voodoo Daddy rocked the house. Rebekka Armstrong, the evening’s host, gave a powerful testimony of her HIV status and how she never thought it could happen to her brought many of the guests to tears.

More than 200 cable industry professionals supported the event sponsored by ABC Cable Networks, AT&T Broadband, and FOX Cable Networks. Produced by Cable Positive's Los Angleles volunteer chapter headed by FOX Cable Networks' David Nathanson, the event raised more than $25,000 for Cable Positive's programs and services. AIDS Project Los Angeles, one of the nation's largest AIDS service organizations and recent Cable Positive community outreach grantee, stationed volunteers at the door to provide attendees with important information on HIV/AIDS including HIV testing sites in the area and condoms. Cable Positive also hosted guests from LA Shanti, who received a grant from Cable Positive for their youth prevention programs this spring.
