Raising $ And Eyebrows For HIV/AIDS

On Saturday, June 15 at  Rufskin in Chelsea (235 W. 19th), Team New York was making a group personal appearance in order to raise cash to fight AIDS and to become the biggest money-raisers of Broadway

Some very easy-on-the-eyes scenes from Team New York's march on Chelsea.

Bares. Not necessarily in that order.

The guys, who were (barely) dressed in Speedos and tanks, served drinks and hawked merch to customers,

pointing out that Rufskin was donating 30% of all proceeds from afternoon sales to the cause.

I'm always hard at work.

Rufskin always has its best merch in the window.

Andrew gets suited up in Rufskin.

A team you'd love to tag.

Team New York's MVP gingers, Andrew & Michael.

There's always time for art...and for selective cropping.

I was lucky enough to tail (literally) my pal Andrew and two other eye-poppers as they marched on Chelsea, invading businesses and personal space with red buckets that were hungry for cash. You'd be surprised how many hot guys will ignore a fellow hot guy when a request for money is involved, so I encouraged the boys to go after softer targets: We gentlemen past 40 are always willing to chat with shirtless youngsters and can often be relied upon to open out wallets to celebrate the occasion.The guys raised plenty of cash, and their energy walking/dancing their way into everyone's hearts yesterday convinced me that Team New York is the one to beat.
