The Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles (www.gmcla.org) is returning as the beneficiary for the 9th annual “Fred & Jason’s Halloweenie” charity event presented by Brian Pendleton & Chad Goldman. “Fred & Jason’s Halloweenie,” one of Los Angeles’ largest charity events, this year features an “Under the Big Top” theme and is sure to be a one-of-a-kind celebration. Being held on Saturday, October 25th, at the historic Los Angeles Theatre, the night’s proceeds will support GMCLA’s programmatic work, including the Alive Music Project, which brings GMCLA performers to local schools in a unique music education outreach program; it gets better, a musical theater collaboration of GMCLA, Speak Theater Arts and the It Gets Better Project; and Outside Voices, a youth chorus in partnership with LifeWorks and directed by GMCLA staff.

“We are thrilled to once again be the beneficiary of ‘Fred and Jason's Halloweenie’ and to welcome our new presenting sponsor, Brian Pendleton and Chad Goldman. The incredible funds raised by Halloweenie help us reach farther into local communities providing them access to music, music education and unique perspectives on being gay while addressing the issues of bullying. It's a win-win-win situation,” said Chris Verdugo, executive director of GMCLA.

“Fred & Jason’s Halloweenie” is an annual costume-required event featuring the music of Grammy nominated DJ Dave Aude, as well as DJ Jeremy Blacklow. Halloweenie will also feature open bars, feverish dancing, celebs, killer photo opps, VIP areas, private cabanas and more. This year's bash will be again held at the famed Los Angeles Theatre, the ornate movie palace in downtown Los Angeles.

With past celebrity guests like Adam Lambert, Lance Bass, Amy Paffrath, Marissa Winokur, Rose McGowan, Neil Patrick Harris, and Drew Barrymore, you won’t want to miss this unforgettable night of frights! Additional proud “Fred & Jason’s Halloweenie” sponsors include: Anawalt Lumber, Evian-Danone, Yellow Cab/Curb, Capitol Drugs and PowerZone.
