Through the tremendous effort of many over the last eighteen years, OCTOPUS CLUB has raised over one million dollars. This is a milestone all of us can celebrate!

Yet in the year since our last Octo Tea Dance, HIV and AIDS have not gone away. Fortunately though, the OCTOPUS CLUB hasn’t gone away either. We remain dedicated to making certain that in Austin every neighbor facing the challenges of living with HIV and AIDS will have a place to turn for financial assistance in times of crisis: the AIDS Emergency Assistance Fund at AIDS Services of Austin.

This year we host our 12th annual Octo Tea Dance on November 4th at the Oasis on Lake Travis.

Please help by donating whatever you can to our Silent Auction. Don’t be shy; be creative! We’ve had art, furniture, gift-certificates, and even chocolate body paint in the past. Everyone has something to offer and the great part is that at every Octopus Club event, every dollar raised goes directly to someone living with HIV/AIDS in Austin who needs your help. This money offsets daily needs like rent, food, medications, and utilities.

Your help will be invaluable, and your generosity greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and we look forward to hearing from you. We ask that all donations be received by October 15th.
