Coming back from three days in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha for meetings, panels and speeches (including a first official “Twitterview” before my opening keynote speech at the MENA Investment Management Forum), I arrived back Monday in New York to get ready for the BAILA Society charity event, Bailando Por Una Causa 2011. It broke my heart that I had to miss the first one last year due to my travel schedule, so jet lag be damned I had to make it back in time.

Below is a first slideshow and the initial showcases, as well as the thank you letter from the President of the Latino Commission on AIDS and my business partner Joseph Rivera, who hosted the event.

On behalf of Baila Society and the Latino Commission on AIDS, we want to thank you for supporting Bailando por una Causa 2011.

Bailando por una Causa was an unforgettable evening of magnificent dance performances, passion, energy, unity and inspiration for our journey. We are proud to announce that the event was also a resounding success, raising both money and awareness for the Commission to continue the critical local, regional and national work on HIV prevention, advocacy, health education, capacity building and research/evaluation.

We very much appreciate your generous and continuous support for our vision to achieve healthy communities.

We are sharing some images of this memorable evening with you. We encourage you to share them with friends and loved ones.

Sincerely,

Guillermo Chacón
Latino Commission on AIDS
