What are the Golden Dildeaux Awards?
These humorous awards are intended to poke fun at various sexual activities while at the same time providing a unique charity fundraising opportunity.
The Golden Dildeaux Awards were originally started by the late "Mister Marcus" in 1972 to promote his bar, The Cauldron. Over the years the awards expanded and became a fundraiser for the Aids Emergency Fund (AEF).
In 1994 Mister Marcus asked the Golden Gate Guards if we would continue the tradition of the Golden Dildeaux Awards as a fundraising activity for the AIDS Emergency Fund (AEF).
The Golden Gate Guards continued producing the Golden Dildeaux Awards each year and evolved the event from donation boxes in various bars and locations to on-line donations via the ggguards.org website and PayPal.
In 2018, AEF became part of the Positive Resource Center (PRC) -- and is now called Emergency Financial Assistance (EFA).
We are proud to continue supporting this program which provides financial assistance in the form of
grants to low-income San Francisco residents living with HIV/AIDS for their housing, medical and/or utility bills.

Voting Ballot:
When the nominating period is over, we will determine the top nominees for each category and new ballots will be made available for online voting. Voting is how we raise money for the Positive Resource Center's Emergency Financial Assistance program (formerly the AIDS Emergency Fund).
Votes are a $1 donation each.
You may cast as many votes as you want for each candidate.
Example 1: If you cast one vote for one candidate in each of the 25 categories, your ballot will cost $25.
Example 2: If instead, you want to cast 5 votes each for five of your favorite candidates, your ballot will also cost $25.
The total dollar amount of each ballot is up to your generosity.
Your donation is tax deductible.
The candidate in each category that receives the most votes, wins the Golden Dildeaux Award for that category.
The candidate who raises the most money in a single category becomes eligible for a special award.
100% of your donations will go to the EFA thanks to the generosity of an anonymous sponsor who is covering all the expenses for this event.
Voting ballots will be available online on this site and you can pay via PayPal so you can use your credit or debit card. A PayPal account is not required - you can pay as a guest by answering the questions on the PayPal form.
You can also vote by mail and send us your check or money order, but this option is only available until and your donation must be received by us no later than .
Midway through the voting period we will tabulate the votes and add rankings to the voting ballot. This allows you to see which candidates are ahead in each category and provides you the opportunity to promote voting for your favorite candidates.
