WORLD AIDS DAY, designated on December 1 every year since 1988, is an international day dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection and mourning those who have died of the disease.
The annual LIGHT IN THE GROVE and the 35th Anniversary of WORLD AIDS DAY at the National AIDS Memorial in San Francisco started on November 30 and December 1. Light in the Grove kicked off the commemoration on the evening of November 30 with glowing lights, disco balls, and hearts in the forest. Truly inspirational speeches were given inside the tent by John Cunningham, CEO, National AIDS Memorial, and Daniel O'Day, Chairman and CEO, Gilead Sciences, which devoted a special AIDS Quilt square: "Honoring Our Loved Ones." The total raised through donations was $26,260.
