ABOUT BEST IN DRAG SHOW
Created in 1989 by Alexis Pittman and a small group of friends in his West Hollywood living room, the Best in Drag Show, then called Battle for the Tiara, came to fruition. The first event raised $400 collected from 20 people, and the show was subsequently moved to larger venues due to its increasing popularity. The current version of the show has run since 2003 and has raised over $6 million to support the work of Alliance for Housing and Healing’s flagship pro-gram, Aid for AIDS. The show is produced by an army of extraordinarily talented volunteers and staff from Alliance for Housing and Healing. This year sponsors include Michael Patrick King and Craig Fisse, Lifeguard, Dr. Serhat Gum-rukcu, Wells Fargo Bank, Gilead Sciences, Barbara Jacobs Events, L.A. Care, Kraut Law Group, and Sketchers.
ABOUT ALLIANCE FOR HOUSING AND HEALING
