Best Independent AIDS Fundraiser

Red Hot XVI

Sixteen years and still growing strong, Oilcan Harry's legendary bartender Steve Higginbotham produces this hot summer event in memory of his former partner. Raising $18,000 this year alone, Red Hot has hit the $250,000 mark and donates its proceeds to Project Transitions. A hot auction and a cool cocktail do the trick every time.
