Baltimore, MD, December 17, 2009—Hooker & Boys whipped out another year of their tinsel town antics with the 11th Annual production of The 12 Days of Christmas on Saturday December 12, 2009. Baltimore’s Club Hippo set the stage for the greatest combined effort of the Drag, Leather, Rodeo, Straight, Bisexual, and Transgendered communities.

Shawnna Alexander and Summer Clearance, Lauren Mitchell and Deb Jones emceed a multitude of acts including singing, illusion and skits. People came from near and far donating their money, time and talent to make this year's program a complete success. 

During the production, a silent auction, bootblacking, and pictures with Mr. and Ms. Claus took place simultaneously.

This year's production was dedicated to Rodney Burger and Steve Buettner, for their continuing support of the LLGBSTQ Communities. Hooker & Boys offers special thanks to all who performed, volunteered and attended, plus the crew, the sponsors and the kind contributors.

All money raised will be donated in memory of Mr. Marcus, John Matthews aka Christina DeVain, Wanda Hatfield, Larry Stansbury and Virginia Hill.

The 11th annual 12 Days of Christmas was able to raise $7,000. CLAW Nation will receive $4,666.66 and disburse $2,333.33 to Brother Help Thyself, which in turn will disburse $1,166.66 to AIDS Action Baltimore and $1,166.67 to the GLCCB for Baltimore Pride. The ShipMates Club of Baltimore will receive $2,333.33, for Daddy Christmas 2009 benefitting Johns Hopkins Pediatric AIDS. The remaining $2,333.33 will go to C.O.M.M.A.N.D., M.C.'s Greene-Baker Fund. Good Hearts Really Do Beat A Bad Economy!

Hooker & Boys is once again very humbled by the generous donations and support that made this possible. This is the miracle that only happens when people work together for the greater
good of all—NO EXCEPTIONS.

Seasons Greetings and a Happy New Year!

Serving The Communities,
Hooker & Boys
