Toros y Tapas is our way of celebrating the Running of the Bulls but instead of running for our lives down an alley dodging bulls in Spain, we will be running around the pool to a table laden with tapas and vino in Austin while listening to Latin ballads and dance music. And best of all while nibbling, sipping, and dancing, we will be sharing with friends the warmth of knowing that this party is making a difference in the lives of our neighbors with HIV/AIDS – offering a helping hand when they need it most. Over the years Octopus Club parties and you have raised over $2.5 million!

In the spirit of Pamplona, white attire and tongue in cheek encouraged, red scarves provided.

Suggested contribution $25, $50, $100 or more. Every dollar goes to the Paul Kirby Emergency Fund at AIDS Services of Austin which provides emergency cash assistance to people living with the challenges of HIV/AIDS when they face a financial crisis. Your dollars will help them with the most basic needs like rent, utilities, food, even medications.
