“Cum” out to SNAP! Fundraiser for ACT on March 21

The AIDS Committee of Toronto’s annual photo fundraiser, SNAP!, is coming up this Sunday, March 21.

The event helps to support the arts as well as programs for people living with, affected by and at risk of HIV/AIDS. There will be a cocktail reception, silent and live auctions and entertainment by DJ Sumation.

Below is “Cum” by Brandon Titaro, winner of the SNAP!Stars Competition. Ten winning photos by Canadian university students have been added to the live auction, and each of the 10 students will receive a cash prize of $1,500. To see more of the photos that will be on the auction block, see snap-toronto.com.

Deciding to participate in SNAP! was an easy snap decision, Titaro recently told fab magazine’s Drew Rowsome. “We need to raise money and save people and put an end to this,” he says.
