Our goals
Raise Funds
Critical medical and supportive care services to improve the quality of life for people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS all require resources, which are limited and becoming more scarce. So every bit of funding helps.
Build Awareness
Did you know that it's estimated a new person tests positive for HIV every 18 hours in San Diego County? Although there have been huge strides in HIV prevention and treatment efforts, a great need still exists for testing, counseling, and care.
Celebrate Impact
The Red Dress Party is like the name suggests – a party – and an opportunity for the community to band together, celebrate and support a great cause.
