WORLD AIDS DAY 2018:
RED RIBBON APPEAL EVENTS ACROSS NSW
ACON, NSW's leading HIV prevention, HIV support and LGBTI health organisation is inviting people across NSW to participate in a range of events to mark this year's World AIDS Day (Saturday 1 December).
ACON CEO Nicolas Parkhill says a variety of fundraising, awareness raising and memorial events will feature as part of ACON's World AIDS Day activities.
"World AIDS Day is an opportunity for people to show their support for people living with HIV and to commemorate those who have died," Mr Parkhill said. "It allows us to raise funds to deliver programs and services that support people living with HIV and to educate people about how we can reduce HIV transmissions in NSW by 2020.
"So I encourage everyone to support our efforts this year by making a donation to the Ending HIV Red Ribbon Appeal, buying Red Ribbon merchandise, attending one of ACON's fundraising or remembrance events, or participating in other activities supported by ACON."
