‘RIBBON OF LIFE’ BENEFIT BRINGS TOGETHER SPECTRUM OF PERFORMERS
Golden Rainbow's annual "Ribbon of Life" show pulls together a distinctly Las Vegas community, from seasoned Strip performers - a few even in drag - to a young troupe devoted to the hearing impaired. And Sunday, the 26th variety show that raised about $200,000 for local AIDS and HIV relief gave them all a new common denominator: The main stage of the Smith Center.

The event, in which dozens of performers took part, is the main fundraiser for Golden Rainbow, a non-profit that provides assistance to those living with HIV/AIDS in the community.
