"One Mighty Weekend events in the United States attract 135,000 guests, including international visitors from 30 different countries around the globe," Chisholm said. "Now, we are ready to go global and take the party to them - and Paris is the first stop."

Over the past 14 years, Chisholm's annual One Mighty Weekend at The Walt Disney World Resort Orlando has grown to become America's largest gay and lesbian celebration. The event also has generated sizeable contributions to its beneficiary organization, the non-profit Elton John AIDS Foundation (www.ejaf.org). The 2006 event raised $50,000 and this year's parties - in Orlando and Paris - are committed to raise at least that much from each event.

"We are grateful for the support of Johnny Chisholm and One Mighty Weekend," said EJAF Executive Director Scott Campbell. "These contributions are a tremendous boost for the Foundation's work in the worldwide fight against AIDS."

One Mighty Party Paris will be headlined by legendary GRAMMY(R) award- winning artist Gloria Gaynor, famous for such hits as "I Will Survive" and "Just Keep Thinkin' About You."

"I look forward to working with Johnny again and with the Elton John AIDS Foundation," Gaynor said. "I'm also very excited to be a part of One Mighty Party Paris."

Johnny has joined forces with Ray DeForest, a fellow event promoter to produce One Mighty Party Paris. The synergy of their talents promises to bring exciting new dimensions to this event.

"I am excited to be working professionally with Johnny and his team", said Ray DeForest. "Together we will be able to present an event that will be unrivaled."

One Mighty Party Paris will transform The Disneyland Resort Paris at 9pm with two large dance floors in Discoveryland and Frontierland. Attractions will be open in Frontierland, Discoveryland and Adventureland with a special performance and Magic Castle Party finale fireworks display starting at 11:30 PM over Le Chateau de la Belle Au Bois Dormant.

The evening will continue with a second event, Magic Journeys, located at the Disney Pavilion in Discoveryland from 2 AM until 6 AM.

Tickets will go on sale February 1, 2007. See www.onemightyweekend.com and www.onemightyweekendparis.com for more details.
