Dear Friend, 

As leaders in the fight against HIV/AIDS, we are thrilled to invite you to our special Join the Cause dinner on October 10, 2024, in Los Angeles at the Avalon Hotel with cocktails at 6pm and dinner at 7pm. 

Our Join the Cause dinner is an opportunity to learn about and support AIDS United’s mission of ending the HIV epidemic. Please RSVP here to join us!

AIDS United plays a crucial role in building and supporting both national and local initiatives through our strategic grant-making, capacity building and advocacy. We are dedicated to achieving health equity by advocating for and advancing access to prevention, treatment, care, and harm reduction services for all people living with and vulnerable to HIV. 

Hosted and generously supported by Emmy-nominated actor John Roberts, who serves on AIDS United’s Advisory Council, and with presenting support from Gilead, proceeds from this dinner will support our national work and regional efforts in California. Please RSVP by Monday, October 7, 2024 below. 

We look forward to you joining us!
