30 years after the first cases of HIV – the red ribbon is the universal symbol of awareness and support for those living with HIV. The red ribbon was the first ever ribbon symbol, inspiring later versions such as the pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness.
On December 1, 2011 CCASL will be celebrating World AIDS Day. An AIDS resource table will be set up between 9am and 11:30am, in the main lobby of the Crosby Student Center. The afternoon will conclude with a presentation from noon to 1pm.
The World AIDS Day campaign this year is focusing their efforts on "Getting to Zero": Zero New HIV Infections, Zero Discrimination and Zero AIDS Related Deaths.
Be aware and knowledgeable about HIV and AIDS. The discussion will be facilitated by a power point about AIDS service learning and service work. There will as well be a presentation from FaceAIDS abut the local AIDS community and some of their global efforts.
ACT UP and raise awareness and support through the facebook page or follow the streaming tweets! Get involved and learn more: http://www.worldaidscampaign.org/. For more information contact Kierra Irvin at ws-kirvin@gonzaga.edu or 509-303-6446.
