*By Daily Press staff*

The Children Affected by AIDS Foundation celebrates its 10th anniversary “Dream Halloween Los Angeles” fundraiser this weekend with costumed celebrities and an evening of festivities.

Hosting the fundraiser will be Jamie Lee Curtis, with Cindy Crawford as honorary event chair and Doris Roberts as vice chair.

Each year, Dream Halloween presenting sponsor — Mattel, Inc. – donates a one-of-a-kind doll sculpted in the likeness of the honorary event chair. This year, Crawford will receive the doll and then donate it to CAAF for its live auction later in the evening. This year the doll will be wearing the same dress Crawford will wear to the event, which will be a Roberto Cavalli-feathered ball dress. Previous dolls, auctioned for as much as $25,000, included Cher and Elizabeth Taylor.

Festivities will include a haunted house, face painting, trick-or-treating and an auction. There also will be what has been described as sumptuous food and drink selection from Drago's, Chaya Venice, Tommy Tang’s, Ben & Jerry’s, Red Bull and Evian.

Other celebrity attendees and honorees will include Arnold Schwarzenegger, Marlee Matlin, Benito Martinez and Brooke Burke.

The fundraiser will be held on Saturday, Oct. 25 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Barker Hanger at 3021 Airport Ave. Tickets are still available. The price is $250 for children, $300 for adults. They can be purchased by calling (310) 201-5033, or can be bought at the door. For more information, call John Tellem at (310) 479-6111 or e-mail
