Seeking 2009 Sponsors to 'Fight HIV in DC'

The website www.fighthivindc.org has become the leading online source of information about local efforts to fight HIV/AIDS in the District of Columbia. I started this website over two years ago out of deep personal frustration about both the lack of awareness about HIV/AIDS in the District, as well as the lack of communication among those working to fight the disease. I’m proud of the website, our great volunteers, and all that we’ve accomplished, but I’m even more excited for what comes next.

On World AIDS Day, we plan to re-launch www.fighthivindc.org as a project of The DC Center. As many of you know, I became acting Executive Director of The DC Center this past April. Working on HIV/AIDS is a natural fit for The DC Center; and by joining forces, Fight HIV in DC will have access to more resources including The DC Center’s David Bohnett Cyber Center, which will soon expand to include digital video and media capabilities. It will also allow us to seek funding for Fight HIV in DC to support this important work and to expand our HIV/AIDS efforts to include online and offline activities.

As we move forward, I ask for your support to make this happen. I invite you to become a 2009 sponsor of the www.fighthivindc.org website. Sponsors will be announced when we re-launch the website, and featured prominently on the website from December 1st, 2008 to November 30th, 2009.

This is an opportunity for you to support the fight against HIV/AIDS in the District, but also this is a tremendous opportunity to reach a specific and important audience: the HIV/AIDS community in Washington, DC.
