Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center's Annual Fundraiser and the 3rd Annual National Asian & Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

You are enthusiastically invited to you to mark your calendars for HIV Matters: Looking Forward to be held May 19, 2007 from 5:00 — 9:30 p.m.

Commemorating 20 years of leadership in the HIV/AIDS movement, this year's theme — HIV Matters: Looking Forward — declares the API Wellness Center's commitment to sustaining and expanding efforts to address the constantly evolving impact of HIV on Asian and Pacific Islander (A&PI) communities.

HIV Matters: Looking Forward purposely coincides with the federally endorsed 3rd Annual National Asian & Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, initiated by A&PI Wellness Center as part of The Banyan Tree Project — a national campaign to fight HIV/AIDS stigma and discrimination in A&PI communities.

This year on May 19th, A&PI Wellness Center will launch a photo exhibition that showcases the work of individuals living with HIV and seeks to view the impact of HIV through their eyes. This exhibit will precede our fundraiser and is free and open to the public.

The annual fundraiser promises an enchanting evening of community award presentations, local and national celebrities and entertainers, a silent auction, delectable food, and an array of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
