The Long Beach AIDS Foundation, Inc. (LBAF) serves as a social change agent inspiring and empowering collaborative HIV/AIDS service organizations to embrace new strategic paradigms, motivate existing infrastructures, and enhance leadership with the ultimate aim to end the spread of HIV/AIDS.
About us:
The Long Beach AIDS Foundation, Inc., a non-profit 501(c) 3 charitable organization was formed upon its official separation from One in Long Beach, Inc at the end of 2004. The foundation operates AIDS Walk Long Beach (formerly AIDS Walk of Greater Long Beach) as one of its program and is charting a course for developing educational and HIV/AIDS prevention programs that affect the lives of our Long Beach and South Bay citizens.
In the mid 80's Long Beach was severely impacted by AIDS in our community. During this period, AIDS Project-Long Beach which operated independently of The Center merged its program with The Center Long Beach and in 1988 a group of volunteers formed AIDS Walk of Greater Long Beach in response to the severe impact on our community. The first AIDS Walk in Long Beach was held in February 1989. AIDS Walk Long Beach was modeled after AIDS Walk LA to help fund testing, medical services, medication, prevention and education programs.
As we now celebrate our 20th Anniversary of AIDS Walk Long Beach , the Foundation now operates several new programs in our mission to end AIDS. To date the Walk has provided funding for over 34 beneficiary agencies totaling more than $ 2.1 million dollars. 25 years later and there is still no end to AIDS in sight.
Who I'd like to meet:
Foundation and Walk Volunteers
The Long Beach AIDS Foundation / AIDS Walk Long Beach is an all-volunteer organization. The Foundation hosts many events throughout the year to provide education and raise funds for HIV/AIDS service and prevention organizations.
Volunteers are the "Life Blood" of any organization. We also partner with the James McElroy Foundation to connect volunteers with other partner HIV/AIDS organizations. Both organizations need volunteers and both organizations ensure that your volunteer experiences are rewarding, fun and appreciated.
