 HOLLYWOOD: Comedian Dennis Miller will host the first annual, "Silicon Planet", a special event and Aids fund-raiser sponsored by Applied Materials Inc., a leading manufacturer of semi-conductors. Other sponsors include: E*Trade; Microsoft; Citibank; Fry's Electronics and Therma. One hundred percent of gross proceeds will benefit ARIS (Aids Resources, Information & Services).
The event, which will take place on Saturday, October 4, 1997, is the second major fund-raising initiative by Joint Venture: Silicon Valley, a consortium of Santa Clara-based high technology companies charged with revitalizing and further developing the Silicon Valley area. To be staged at a large, converted warehouse in downtown San Jose, "Silicon Planet" will be a marriage of high tech and Hollywood - cutting-edge music, art, fashion and technology. Many celebrities are expected to attend.
Musical guests are The B-52s, best known for their hit song, "Love Shack". There will also be a "Fashionably Loud" fashion exhibit by world-class designers, an off-beat art auction and high-tech multimedia produced by some of Silicon Valley's top special effects artists. The celebrity co-hosts are Andrew Shue and Elizabeth Shue.
The Hollywood-Madison Group, a Los Angeles-based company specializing in celebrity endorsements and personal appearances is responsible for securing the artists. PRx Inc., a leading public relations firm based in San Jose, California is coordinating the event.
