The Houston Buyers Club (HBC) announced today it will host a Grand Opening Celebration Thursday, January 15, from 5:00pm-8:00pm at its new location - 3224 Yoakum Boulevard.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) January 12, 2004 --Guest of Honor will be Matthew Cusick, a famed Russian high bar performer and HIV activist. Cusick, who was recently fired from Cirque du Soleil, is suing the company for discrimination against people with HIV.

When asked about the new location, HBC Executive Director Fred Walters, said, We are very proud of our new (and larger) facility. But, we are most proud that the larger space will allow HBC to further expand our services to those living with HIV/AIDS and other chronic illnesses."
