Let’s Kick ASS (AIDS Survivor Syndrome) Palm Springs
Social Connection, HIV & Aging Education and Advocacy
To memorialize Timothy’s life and advocacy, a consortium of nonprofit community partners is launching the Timothy Ray Brown “The Berlin Patient” Memorial Online Fundraising Campaign for a boulder in the AIDS Memorial Grove National Memorial in San Francisco, CA, and a bench & plaque at Wellness Park in Palm Springs, CA. The goal is to raise $15,000 to fund the memorials. The consortium consists of the National AIDS Memorial, Lets Kick ASS-Palm Springs Chapter, amfAR The Foundation for AIDS Research, Desert Healthcare District & Foundation, HIV & AIDS Research Project-Palm Springs (www.harp-ps.org), and Until There’s A Cure Foundation. The National AIDS Memorial is serving as fiscal sponsor for the Campaign. For the first 100 people who donate $100 or more, Until There’s A Cure Foundation will send a special thank you bracelet in appreciation for your generosity. Additionally, artist Alexander Hernandez (www.hernalex.com) is donating a one-of-a-kind Art Piece made just for this cause, with each person who makes a donation being eligible to win as part of a special raffle at the end of the campaign.
