25th ANNIVERSARY EVENTS!
In March 2010 the AIDS Task Force will mark the 25th anniversary of its founding.


Between October 2009 and May 2010 a number of arts groups and community organizations will commemorate this occasion with special AIDS-related additions to their seasons. Your attendance at these events will support both the generous agencies that present them and the important work of the AIDS Task Force. The 25th anniversary will culminate in an exciting and reinvented AIDS Walk on May 1, (Vive Le Rouge! – Long Live Red!) which brings together audiences and participants from all the anniversary events.
