Caracole: 21 Years of Service to the HIV/AIDS Community

Caracole’s Mission is to provide safe, affordable housing and supportive services for individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS. Founded in 1987, Caracole House was the first licensed adult care facility in Ohio for people living with HIV/AIDS. Today, Caracole provides direct care services and housing to people with HIV/AIDS and their families along a continuum of care. Over 1,100 people have been housed through Caracole’s programs.

WLWT’s John Bateman (www.wlwt.com) will host That 70s Party at Universal Grille. The event, a large-scale silent auction, will also include a fashion show presented by Dillard’s of Kenwood.

On Sunday, May 18, 2008, Adonis the Nightclub will host the Second Annual Connected Thru Music.

There will be a reception at 6:00 with refreshments provided by Jeff Thomas Catering, and the Cabaret will begin at 7:30. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased by calling 761-1480 or by emailing mjmcclain@caracole.org.
