WHAT:
On Saturday, Oct. 14, the Sin Sity Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the local non-profit organization founded to promulgate universal joy and expiate stigmatic guilt, hosted their annual fundraising Project Nunway event in the SAHARA Theatre at SAHARA Las Vegas. Proceeds from this event will support the Sisters AIDS Drug Assistance Program (SADAP), which provides life-saving medications to people living with HIV/AIDS.
