Kick Off Fundraiser for AIDS Memorial in San Diego Brings Iconic
LGBT Talent to San Diego
AIDS Memorials have been established in major
cities around the world and it’s long overdue for San Diego to join those
ranks. With nearly 8,000 deaths to-date related to HIV/AIDS in San Diego
County, it is imperative that San Diegans remember those that have passed and
continue to fight until there is a cure. The AIDS Memorial will be a place of
remembrance and reflection. The AIDS Memorial Task Force is co-chaired by San
Diego Mayor Kevin Falconer’s wife, Katherine Stuart, and LGBT activist, Nicole
Murray-Ramirez. This project will be funded with private contributions.
Essential responsibilities of the task force will include “Call for Design”
efforts, location determination, fundraising efforts and finally an unveiling
ceremony when the memorial comes to fruition.
The Task Force is excited to announce that fundraising for the memorial will kick off with an AIDS Memorial “Concert for Life” on March 26th, 2015, produced by Being Alive SD, and Susan Jester.
