Paris Hilton
cochairs amfAR fund-raiser

Paris Hilton is one of the three chairs of the September amfAR benefit event to support AIDS research, which will be held at the Puck Building in New York City. The night will bring in a bevy of stars, including Thom Filicia, Tim Gunn, Cynthia Nixon, and Ted Allen. The amfAR Rocks benefit is cochaired by luxury fashion line Rock & Republic's Michael Ball and Andrea Bernholtz.

Since 1985, amfAR has invested $260 million in its programs and has awarded grants to more than 2,000 research teams worldwide. (The Advocate)
