LESLIE JORDAN STAR
DONATE TO CREATE
LESLIE JORDAN'S STAR
on the Palm Springs Walk of the Stars
Leslie Jordan agreed right as we launched the Del Shores Foundation to serve as Co-Chair of our Honorary Board. He told Del, "oh honey, of course! You just have to remind me when I'm supposed to do something!" And of course he did. He returned to our pandemic livestream fundraiser reading of Sordid Lives where we raised over $75,000 for 23 nonprofit theatre partners who were shut down. He returned again for our Southern Baptist Sissies reunion fundraiser as well!
And, now it's our turn to help do a little something. Palm Springs is honoring Leslie with a star on their "Walk of the Stars," and we're fundraising to pay for the installation. Palm Springs is where the Sordid Lives film first exploded, running for two straight years at the Camelot Theatres, saving their theatres at the time. Palm Springs has always been good to Del's work, and we're thrilled to help make this happen there.
The cost of the star is $15,000, so that's our goal! Your donations to us for this purpose are tax-deductible and you will receive a receipt email for your donation.
**Funds donated beyond the total will go to support DSF programs including the awards and grants for LGBTQ+ storytellers in the Writers Search and the 2023 Writers Festival.
STAR CEREMONY DATE: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 11AM in PALM SPRINGS
at the Downtown Palm Springs Park, near the corner of Museum Way & N Museum Dr.
Reception to follow at the bar at EIGHT4NINE Restaurant & Lounge
