About this Event
The National AIDS Memorial’s annual Light in the Grove fundraising gala and World AIDS Day National Observance is quickly approaching, and we would love to have your support as a volunteer!
Although not held in our traditional tent, this year's outdoor Light in the Grove will be more spectacular in other ways, as we mark the 30th anniversary of the National AIDS Memorial Grove, and artistically illuminate numerous areas – significantly more than usual - of the Grove’s beautiful landscape.
This magical nighttime, outdoor ‘journey’ through nature, art, and light will include:
~ Beautifully illuminated pathways with brilliant, colorful light displays, imaginative artistic features, and enchanting dance and musical performances
~ Covid-safe, gourmet hors d'oeuvres, sweets, and beverage stations throughout the outdoor ‘journey’
~ Our traditional, moving candlelight reflection at the Circle of Friends
~ A stunning, night-time outdoor display of the AIDS Memorial Quilt
~ Inspirational reflections from featured guest speakers during a short outdoor program
Your support of Light in the Grove ensures our mission and programs of the National AIDS Memorial, which include the care of our beloved Grove and the 50,000 panels of the AIDS Quilt. As we navigate toward the hopeful end of Covid, your support is more important than ever!We will also be hosting the World AIDS Day National Observance on December 1. World AIDS Day presents a time to remember those who came before us; acknowledge national leaders and unsung heroes; raise awareness about the ongoing impact of HIV/AIDS; and acknowledge emerging young leaders in the fight to end it.
