Vivid Girl Savanna Samson, winner of the AVN Award as Best Actress in an XXX film this year, will sponsor her own team in the AIDS Walk New York on Sunday May 16th. All members of her team and people who donate in its honor will get a free 'Had Savanna' t-shirt as they set off on the 6.2 mile (10 kilometer) march to raise awareness and money to fight HIV and AIDS.

'This is a very important issue to me so I have set an ambitious fundraising goal of $10,000. I want to do as much as I can to make a difference in not only the lives of those in the Adult Industry but the lives of men, women, and children affected by HIV and AIDS in all walks of life,' said Ms. Samson, who won the top AVN Award for her role in 'Looking In,' for which she also won an award for Best Group Sex Scene. Her most recent films, 'The Wedding,' 'Savanna Takes Control' and 'Savanna Scores' have been instant best sellers from Vivid.

Ms. Samson's 'Savanna Group' team for the AIDS Walk New York can be reached by entering the park at 59th Street and Fifth Avenue between 8:30 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. 'Savanna Group' will be near the sign-in area where they will be preparing for the walk, which begins at 10 a.m. Those interested in sponsoring her for the event can visit her personalized Website, www.SavannaSamson.com, for further information.

'Yes there are drugs and other treatments, but they don't work for everyone and there is still no cure in sight,' says Ms. Samson. 'Moreover, in this day and age, AIDS does not discriminate and we all must be concerned. It is vital that we raise the funds necessary to find a way to end this epidemic. Together we can make a difference!'
