Jingle bells jingled all the way to the finish line at the Santa Skivvies Run and street party in the Castro, an annual event that raises money for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. So far, the 2017 event has raised $77,000 but will likely bring in nearly $100,000.
The event’s motto is “Drop Trou. Raise Funds. Fight AIDS,” reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
The AIDS organization provides support and prevention services to about 16,000 people living with HIV in the city.
“It speaks to the fact that San Francisco as a city has been very provocative in the fight against HIV,” Joe Hollendoner, chief executive of the foundation told the newspaper. “The Santa Skivvies Run is a prime example of coming together for important causes in a fun way that really celebrates the resiliency of our community.”
