Denyce Lawton on WPGC

Denyce returns to her hometown of Washington DC ON JUNE 5TH AND 6TH FOR BIG TIGGER'S 8TH ANNUAL CELEBRITY CLASSIC To Promote HIV Testing

For the eighth year in a row, Big Tigger, internationally syndicated radio personality and BET host is being joined by celebrities, professional athletes, as well as political and health officials for Big Tigger's 8th Annual Celebrity Classic. The celebrity weekend, unmatched by any other celebrity event of its kind and is designed to raise funds and awareness for HIV/AIDS.

This year's celebrity weekend comes at a critical time in the D.C. HIV/AIDS crisis. The shocking new data about HIV infections in D.C. and the disproportionate rise in HIV infections among African Americans deserves renewed attention, increased funding and ramped up awareness and testing initiatives.

Big Tigger's Annual Celebrity Classic, produced by The Street Corner Foundation, LLC (SCF), has been a successful weapon in the fight against HIV/AIDS in D.C. Each year, the series of weekend events attracts more than 25,000 attendees to the Washington, D.C area. By leveraging his celebrity and using an entertainment platform, Big Tigger and the SCF are able to reach, educate and test underserved and hard to reach populations.
