Say NO to Hate, Vote NO on 8, Time to Donate

A recent poll shows the California ballot question to ban same-sex marriage, Proposition 8, is now favored by a majority. Until recently the bill looked to be headed for defeat but many hate groups like Focus on the Family, member of the Mormon Church and the Knights of Columbus are funding the campaign to strip some Americans of their rights, and the tide is turning.

In an effort to defeat these anti-American groups that support discrimination, segregation, prejudism and bigotry generous donors Tom Bombardier and John Fowler, along with the Human Rights Campaign, will double every online contribution made TODAY, up to $120,000 to fund the effort to keep marriage in California fair and equal to EVERYONE regardless of sex, race, or religion.

The Tighty Whitey Car Wash Event

Despite a rainy day, The Mr. Steamwoks 2007 Tighty Whitey Car Wash raised over $ 8,000 for The Toronto People With AIDS Foundation! If you would like to make a donation, please log onto www.pwatoronto.org.

Peter Rex, Mr. Steamworks 2007, who organized it all wrote to let me know how it went:

Hi Michael!

The car wash was a huge success, even with the rain. We raised over $8000! Everyone had a really, really good time for a good cause. Haven't had a chance to properly advise everyone (yesterday was a really hard day). Best place to go to see photos is www.proudfm.com. When you take a look at the photos you'll see what I mean. "Red, Wet & Blue" (a gallery print I donated) was part of a silent auction and was sold for $700. I really think it would have gone higher but for the rain. It kept people from getting over to the displays. Still, by having a silent auction, the overall amounts raised for the raffle and auction was increased. Once again, thank you very much for everything. Your poster was really really appreciated.

Peter

Quick Update

The Tighty Whitey Car Wash benefit in Toronto has been postponed. It is rescheduled for August 12th.

Tighty Whitey Car Wash

Peter Rex, Mr. Steamworks 2007, (pictured above in front of the poster) has put together a fundraiser to benefit the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation. The event is a tighty whitey car wash, which should be a sudsy sexy good time! Hot guys like Peter in nothing but their briefs splashing and frolicking for a good cause. Peter, who has been photographed by Tom Bianchi, is getting Calvin Klein to donate the briefs and t-shirts, which will be printed up for the participants. I provided the image for the event's poster as well as donated a special full size limited edition print of "Red, Wet & Blue" to be framed and raffled off. So if you're in the Toronto area July 8th, and your car is dirty or you are just looking for some good clean fun and want to lend your support, stop by!
