The
Diabolique Board of Directors:
The
Diabolique Foundation is a Pennsylvania-registered non-profit charitable
organization. The
Diabolique Foundation's board consists of a dedicated team of hard working,
sleep deprived, caffine fueled volunteers. Kali Morgan,
Domina Barbie, and Psydde Delicious,
in their infinite confusion, have donated hundreds of hours of work in
creating the naughtiest event for a good cause ever to happen in Philadelphia...
The Diabolique Ball!
Event
organizers fund the event out-of-pocket and take none of the proceeds
except to reimburse event expenses. There are no "administrative
fees." We pay for materials and promotion, food and performers, and
some essential services (if they are not donated).
History
of the Diabolique Ball
The Diabolique Ball was created in 1997 by PASSIONAL
(formerly Fetishes Boutique, see www.fetishesboutique.com) along with
Delicious Corsets (www.deliciouscorsets.com)
and a team of dedicated helpers. Local performers have donated their services,
and we have flown visiting celebrities to Philadelphia to perform. The
Diabolique Foundation was created to make official the efforts of the
people who organize the Ball each year. The Ball has contributed its monies
to several local HIV/AIDS women's and gay organizations. Past recipients
have included: Action AIDS, National Foundation for Children with AIDS,
MANNA, Washington West Project, AIDS Law Project, Youth Health Empowerment
Project, PCHA, Wisdom, Safeguards, BABASHI, Calcutta House, ASIAC. The
AIDS Library, Youth Health Empowerment Project, William Way Community
Center.
