The third-Sunday offertory for August has been moved to the fourth Sunday, Aug. 23. The recipient of RVUUF’s special offering will be the Daedalus Project, an annual event that raises funds for HIV/AIDS organizations.

Produced by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF), the Daedalus Project takes place this year on Aug. 23 and 24.

From the OSF website: “Since the first Daedalus Project was organized in 1987, the event has raised $1.4 million for local, regional, national and international HIV/AIDS organizations. It has created a tradition of remembrance, celebration and collective action for OSF’s company, community and audience.

“OSF artistic associate James Edmondson had the original idea for an HIV/AIDS fundraiser 27 years ago. OSF Artistic Director Emeritus Jerry Turner named the event the Daedalus Project after the story of Daedalus from Greek mythology. Daedalus and his son, Icarus, were imprisoned in a labyrinth by King Minos, and by crafting wings from wax and feathers, Daedalus created a way out of the maze.”
