Shanti Project’s 49th Anniversary Dinner, held on Friday, October 27, at the Palace Hotel, celebrated the nonprofit human services agency that provides peer support and guidance to people affected by HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life-threatening conditions. Through its programs, the organization reduces isolation, enhances health and well-being, and improves quality of life, serving individuals who face inequities and barriers to care.
Shanti’s honorees for 2023 included Tom Nolan, Nancy Pelosi Lifetime Achievement Award; Barbara Rose Brooker, Margot Murphy Cancer Inspiration Award; and Juan Pablo Gutiérrez, who posthumously received the James C. Hormel Community Spirit Award. Following the opening reception, the dinner program included live entertainment by drag artist Kylie Minono. The emcee for the evening was Kevin Joyce, who shared the stage with guest speaker Richard Goldman and musical guests the Joe Warner Combo. http://www.shanti.org
