Covalent Immunology Foundation Launches With Fundraising Gala, Hard Medicine, To Support One Doctors Fight Against The Spread Of Hiv September 24, 2009

Hard Medicine is a fundraising event dedicated to raising money to benefit the work of Dr. Paul. Dr. Paul has committed the last 26 years to searching for a cure for HIV after accidentally discovering antibodies with catalytic activity in one of his patients in the 1980’s. Hard Medicine is the official launch of his 501 c3 non-profit organization and its new website, endhiv.com.

The 300 person gala will feature open bar, hors d'oeuvres, musical entertainment provided by Amanda Blank, DJ’s Josh Sparber and Lauren Flax and a silent auction. Silent auction items include DVF clothing, a Bottega Veneta wallet, Eduardo Garza home decor piece, original artwork and several other fashion items including jewelry by Bing Bang.

Hard Medicine guests will also see the debut of a viral video featuring several celebrities and HIV/AIDS activists designed to raise funds from donors around the world. The video asks viewers to donate $5 in order to speed Dr. Paul on his path to implement his technology for the tens of millions waiting for a cure.
