AIN is a wonderful non-profit organization providing services to those with living with HIV/AIDS. Most of its clients are low-income individuals with few alternatives. AIN provides them with counseling and outreach, meals, transportation to medical appointments and an adult daycare center.
For the past several years, I have supported the Bloomin’ Ball, a fundraising dinner and auction for the AIDS Interfaith Network. This year, my partner Andy and I are honorary co-chairs and we’re doing everything we can to make it a success, but AIN needs all our help.
