Please join Academy of Friends as our guest at a very special event. Thursday, May 19, 2016, AOF & Sponsors will present Bay Area HIV/AIDS agencies with the money raised over the past year and our annual Oscar Night Gala and honor our many volunteers from the board, community and beneficiary agencies. Enjoy food and drink in the beautiful showroom of our sponsor Room & Board San Francisco.
We welcome Individual Supporters, Corporate Sponsors, Volunteers of the Academy of Friends 2016 Gala, AIDS Community Leaders, Media, Press and of course, our 2016 Beneficiaries.
Everyone is welcome.
We would hope that you will consider supporting AoF and our mission to continue raising money for HIV/AIDS Services for this community as long as the need endures. We have distributed over $8.7 million to HIV/AIDS Services since the beginning of the pandemic.
Monies raised support HIV/AIDS Services throughout the Bay Area, and this year's 2016 beneficiaries are below:
AIDS Legal Referral Panel (ALRP)
The Mission of ALRP is to help people with HIV/AIDS maintain or improve their health by resolving their legal issues. ALRP accomplishes this mission by providing free and low-cost legal services to people with HIV/AIDS in the San Francisco Bay Area.
San Francisco Suicide Prevention's HIV/AIDS Nightline
HIV/AIDS Nightline responds to over 10,000 calls annually from all over the United States. What makes the Nightline unique is their hours. For people receiving their HIV test results after work at a clinic, to people just having a night of unsafe sexual exposure, the program is often the only resource open for immediate care.
Maitri Compassionate Care
Maitri provides compassionate residential care to people living with AIDS in need of hospice or 24-hour care and cultivates the deepest respect and love for life among its residents and caregivers.
Positive Resource Center
The mission of the Positive Resource Center is to assist people affected by or at risk for HIV/AIDS through culturally appropriate counseling, education, training and advocacy. As a result, our clients can make more informed choices that maximize available benefits and employment opportunities.
Project Inform
Project Inform fights the HIV and hepatitis C epidemics by assuring the development of effective treatments and a cure; supporting individuals to make informed choices about their health; advocating for quality, affordable health care; and promoting medical strategies that prevent new infections.
Project Open Hand
Founded in 1985, Project Open Hand provides nutritious 'meals with love' to seniors and critically ill neighbors in San Francisco and Alameda County. Our nutritious food is like medicine, helping clients stay stronger, recover and lead healthier lives.
