HustlaBall Berlin - Benefit
The HustlaBall is part of the gay community and committed to it. Of each sold ticket € 2,- go to charitable projects. We see with concern, that the state further and further withdraws from financing important projects and thus our contribution, meant as an extra, increasingly becomes crucial to the projects' survival.
The benefactors for 2011
Subway (HILFE-FÜR-JUNGS e.V.)
Subway offers help to boys working as prostitutes. Street work prevention is done on the streets, in bars and sex cinemas. In the drop-in centre the boys are offered a safe space, where they can rest and gather strength, where they can wash their clothes, sleep, eat and shower and where they can get advice and see a doctor. The co-workers give advice in German, English, French, Spanish, Polish, Turkish and Romanian. For more than 20 years HILFE-FÜR-JUNGS e.V. and its project Subway support and give advice on the topics homelessness and houselessness, violence, sexually transmitted infections, coming-out, and how to leave prostitution. The work is sponsored by public funds but private funding forms an important foundation of financing.
HOUSE OF LIFE e.V.
As the first and only long term nursing home in Berlin the House of Life offers multifunctions for people between the age 20 and 55. HIV, accidents or mental problems are often the reason for the residents to stay in the house. 2006 House of Life modernized its house in Berlin Kreuzberg to provide age-adequate support. The House of Life is an open house. Art and music make up the house for the residents, as well as for the city of Berlin. A special place for unique encounters. To avoid the needs of the residents to disappear from public knowledge, the book, Sie sollen nicht vergessen werden (They shall not be forgotten), was published. Café Bohne, a café run by the House of Life, is open Saturdays and Sundays, is run by "the time givers" (the volunteers) and works as a meeting point for the residents and visitors.
The Sisters of the order of Perpetual Indulgence E.V.
The sisters are around since 1979 doing unusual political actions. Today ca. 1.500 sisters worldwide are active against AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, collecting money for HIV- and AIDS-projects,
distributing information, condoms and other safer sex paraphernalia to men and women.

On March 13 was the big day – HustlaBall traditionally donates € 2 per sold ticket to charitable organizations – the cheques were handed over. At Berlin Café PositHIV more than € 5.000 found new owners.
"We understand HustlaBall as project of the gay community and thus engaged in it. It is our pleasure to give € 2 of each sold ticket to charitable causes. However, we are concerned about the public sector withdrawing more and more from financing important projects, which makes our contribution, meant as extra, crucial for the projects' survival.“ said HustlaBall-spokesperson at the presentation.
