ABW 2009 is carrying on a tradition of raising funds to benefit Leather and LGBT organizations, advocates and charities based in the cities that host the American Brotherhood Weekend. It is our way of saying thanks to the people of our host community. In 2008 we were proud to say, "Thank you," to the people of New Orleans by raising over $4,500 for NO/AIDS Task Force (our primary beneficiary)The Leather Archives & Museum, located in Chicago.
