If you think we re focusing on Mr. Marcus May 23 1985 Leather column just to show off a photo of handsome Bare Chest Calendar contestant Paul John Gillespie, you re right. But there s a bit of historic irony to also observe. Hey, it s an historic Robert Pruzan photo, as are many others by Rink in a photo feature decrying the loss of Ringold Alley as a leather cruise spot. If anyone in the mid-1980s could get a peek at how the once-cruisy South of Market district has changed, they d split their chaps. But back to Marcus B.A.R. Bazaar column, which recounts the numerous Memorial Day Weekend events on the agenda for those into the bar scene. As for the Bare Chest Calendar night, Mr. June was one of seven contestants at the SF Eagle.
Without fundraisers in bars for the past year, the annual Bare Chest Calendar men have faced challenges. But the finals for next year s calendar, an alumni edition, will go on, May 8, on Twitch. Fundraising efforts have swiftly switched gears, as clients of Positive Resource Center, the donation recipient nonprofit, face urgent and increased need during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nearly 300 San Franciscans have been sheltered-in-place through PRC s Residential Services. Their Emergency Financial Assistance program (formerly AEF) has seen an exponential growth in need. The calendar and contests held at SF s Powerhouse and other bars, have a long history of fundraising, initially for AIDS/HIV causes, going back to 1984. Since then, the events have continued to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for Bay Area nonprofits.

It s been a rough year for many. Housing, food and medical needs are but some of the issues many people are facing as the pandemic continues to devastate the economy. PRC is dedicated to helping HIV positive people, homeless people, low income or no income, and disabled San Franciscans weather the pandemic, though the organization has been doing its work long before the COVID-19 era began and will continue long after the pandemic is behind us. The annual Bare Chest Calendar has become one of the ways that PRC funds its work. The calendar began in 1984. Beginning with its second year, the calendar served as a fundraiser for the AIDS Emergency Fund, which provided immediate, short term financial assistance to people affected by HIV/AIDS disability.
