America Ferrera to host AIDS gala

Washington (ANI): While America Ferrera is all set for a comeback on small screen with her hit TV series Ugly Betty, she'll also be doing her share of charity by hosting an AIDS charity event. According to an exclusive revelation by Usmagazine.com, the Emmy Award-winning actress would be presenting the third annual Hot in Hollywood charity event in LA.

The returns from the event would be benefiting the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and Real Medicine, a disaster relief organization. "I bought a table the first year with friends and had so much fun watching the performances. Performing in the second year was an honor and a ton of fun... I can't wait to host this year's event. This is a cause dear to my heart," Usmagazine.com quoted Ferrera, as saying.

Scheduled to be held on August 16 at Hollywood's Avalon nightclub, the gala would feature performances by A-list celebrities.
