Soap stars from The Young and The Restless, Days Of Our Lives, General Hospital, and The Bold and the Beautiful will be out in force on Thursday, October 16, to kick off the annual AIDS Walk LA.

Judith Chapman, Christian LeBlanc, Kristoff St. John, Daniel Goddard, Billy Miller, Kate Linder, Kimberly McCullough, Megan Ward, Lisa LoCicero, Brandon Barash, Carolyn Hennesy, Heather Tom, John McCook, Texas Battle, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, James Scott, Nadia Bjorlin, Galen Gering, Ariane Zuker, Shelley Hennig, Rachel Melvin, Molly Burnett, Emcee Patrika Darbo, and Martha Madison will be taking part in the Soaps In The City event in West Hollywood to support AIDS Project Los Angeles.

The evening will feature a night of red carpet arrivals, cocktails, and hanging out with the brightest stars in the genre. In addition, “Michael Fairman On-Air On-Soaps” will host a special “Soap Family Feud” competition between soap stars and their fans. And very special guest, “One Life to Live’s” Ilene Kristen, will give the crowd a musical performance not to miss. A special auction will also be held, with once-in-a-lifetime opportunities such as a phone call with “General Hospital’s” Maurice Benard or “ATWT’s” Van Hansis, a set visit to The Bold and the Beautiful and your own personal shopping day with Lauren Koslow!

Since 1985, AIDS Walk Los Angeles has raised $59 million for HIV programs and services in Los Angeles County, and has grown into the largest AIDS fundraising event in California. In 2007 alone, 30,000 participants, many of whom were members of 1,400 corporate and community teams, raised a record sum of more than $3.9 million for AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA) and other local AIDS service organizations. This year’s event will take place on October 19.

On October 15th, the streets of L.A. will play host to the 21st Annual AIDS Walk Los Angeles!

The event brings out stars who are usually seen on the red carpet, not the pothole pavements of Hollywood. Joining them are thousands of stars who may never grace the cover of US Weekly, but who shine in the eyes of their biggest fans: family and friends.

Along with raising awareness of HIV/AIDS, the event raises money that benefits AIDS Project Los Angeles and neighboring HIV/AIDS service organizations. Thanks to the supporters who talk the talk and walk the walk, AIDS Walk Los Angeles raised $3.2 million last year!

It’s not too late to lace up your walking shoes and get sponsored! You may just find yourself making strides alongside Kimberly McCullough, who portrays the groundbreaking, HIV-Positive character Robin Scorpio on ABC’s General Hospital!
