AIDS Response-Seacoast is pleased to announce the following upcoming fundraising events. In an era of increasing funding restrictions, that effectively cut Federal funding for AIDS Service Organizations, community support of fundraisers is vital. AIDS Response Seacoast plays a critical role in our community: educating citizens on the risks and realities of living with the disease, combating prejudice, and providing prevention services, counseling, and help to people and families living with HIV/AIDS to gain medical care, housing, food, and nutritional support. Have fun and support your friends and family by participating. Keep watching this site for additional upcoming events and information on these.

December 01, 2009 - World AIDS Day: 6:00 p.m. - Portsmouth Public Library, Levenson Community Room. There will be a reception immediately following the service. This even is made possible through the generosity of Seacoast Gay Men and The Lifeguards.
World AIDS Day started in 1988 and has been held on December 1st since. The World AIDS Day theme for 2009 is 'Universal Access and Human Rights'. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away and there are many things still to be done.
Recognizing these as fundamental human rights, global leaders have pledged to work towards universal access to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and care. Valuable progress has been made in increasing access to HIV/AIDS services, yet greater committment is needed around the world if the goal of universal access is to be achieved. Millions of people continue to be infected with HIV every year. World AIDS Day provides an opportunity for all of us to take action and ensure that human rights are protected and HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care are met.
