SUPPORT OF AIDS ASSISTANCE<br />
PROGRAM<br />
Historic O’Donnell House Site of Dazzling Independence Day Benefit<br />

PALM SPRINGS – May 20, <strong>2015</strong>: AIDS Assistance Program (AAP)<br />
is hosting a spectacular Independence Day celebration and<br />
fundraiser on Saturday, July 4, <strong>2015</strong> at the historic O’Donnell<br />
House, perched high on the mountainside above the Palm<br />
Springs Art Museum at 412 W. Tahquitz Canyon Way. The event<br />
begins at 7:30 pm, and the City of Palm Springs’ fireworks<br />
display commences at 9:15 pm.<br />
“The breathtaking views from the O’Donnell House make it the<br />
best spot in town to watch fireworks across the entire valley,” said<br />
Mark Anton, Executive Director of AAP. “Thanks once again to the<br />
generosity of Dr. Tracy Conrad and Dr. Paul Marut for making this<br />
amazing location available for our supporters to enjoy.”<br />
Completed in 1925, the O’Donnell House served as the winter<br />
home of oilman Thomas O’Donnell and his wife, Dr. Winnifred<br />
Willis Jenny, a well-known Long Beach osteopath. The twostory<br />
Mediterranean Revival-Monterey residence remained the<br />
highest mountainside home in Palm Springs until the 1960s. It<br />
was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.<br />
Tickets for the Independence Day celebration, which include<br />
cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and valet parking, are $125 per<br />
person and may be purchased by calling 760-325-8481 or at<br />

Initiated in 1991 by a small group of concerned citizens led<br />
by the late Gloria Greene and Jeannette Rockefeller, AIDS<br />
Assistance Program of Palm Springs has remained dedicated to<br />
providing nutritional support to improve the quality of the lives<br />
of low-income men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS.<br />
AAP provides food vouchers to these community members<br />
monthly, and in January 2016 will expand its operations with<br />
the launch of Food Samaritans, a new program designed to<br />
assist area residents suffering with any serious illness such as<br />
cancer, Multiple Sclerosis, heart or liver disease, among others.<br />
