“The movie night and retail shopping sales are so important to our fundraising,” said Board President Michael Byrne. “We are working hard to support organizations that need us – and organizations that are also serving those with HIV/ AIDS during the global pandemic. We hope you can support our work and join us – and watch for news on our next grant cycle out by November. We are hoping for the best and working out our dollar total. Thanks for supporting us for 16 years – and here’s to the next 16!”
