amfAR to Partner with FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX for Benefit Gala
Event Hosted at Wynn Las Vegas

New York, NY (Aug. 20, 2025) — amfAR will return to Las Vegas on Friday, November 21, 2025, for its amfAR Las Vegas benefit gala, which will be presented in partnership with the FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX.

The exclusive event hosted at Wynn Las Vegas will include a seated gala dinner, a live auction of rare classic and contemporary automobiles, exquisite works of art, luxury experiences, and musical performances in support of amfAR’s lifesaving research.

In classic amfAR style, amfAR Dallas will include cocktails, a seated dinner, and a live auction of luxury goods, one-of-a-kind experiences, and contemporary art. Proceeds from the event will benefit amfAR’s mission to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic through innovative cure research. The Dallas community has raised more than $65 million in support of amfAR’s work over the years.

“We are thrilled and grateful to be officially partnering with Formula 1 this year,” said amfAR CEO Kevin Robert Frost. “Their support will help advance our research aimed at curing HIV and will bring much-needed global visibility to the fight against AIDS.”

“We have immense respect for the work amfAR does in the fight against AIDS, and we’re honored to be a presenting partner for this year’s gala, said Emily Prazer, President and CEO of Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc. “It’s a great event that raises critical funds for an even greater mission, and we are proud to have it serve as a meaningful complement to the excitement of Las Vegas race week.”

As an official partner of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, amfAR gala attendees can access exclusive premium race weekend packages, including Wynn Grid Club (3-Day) and Formula 1 Paddock Club™ (1, 2, or 3-Day).

Last year’s inaugural event, also hosted at Wynn Las Vegas, raised over $3 million. The event was hosted by renowned comedian Jay Leno and featured a special performance by the legendary Diana Ross. Academy Award-nominated actor, writer, and director Sylvester Stallone and accomplished entrepreneur, philanthropist, and model Jennifer Stallone were honored with amfAR’s Award of Inspiration.

HIV/AIDS is far from over in the U.S. and Nevada has one of the highest infection rates in the country. Effective treatments, many of them developed with the help of amfAR’s groundbreaking research, have rendered HIV a manageable condition for many people but require lifelong adherence to medication. Funds raised at benefit events like amfAR Las Vegas are a vital source of support for amfAR’s efforts to develop a cure for HIV that could help the AIDS epidemic once and for all.

Wynn Las Vegas is the official hotel and resort partner for amfAR Las Vegas. The event is also supported by 101 Studios.
