People feel better when engaged in social activity. Let’s Kick ASS Palm Springs helps long-term survivors overcome isolation by creating social opportunity. From our popular monthly potlucks, thrice-monthly coffee socials, and our movie nights, to now establishing annual events such as our June 5, Long-term Survivors Day reception and our Thanksgiving Day feast, LKAPS benefits its members through engagement.
To honor National HIV Long-Term Survivors Awareness Day (June 5) and the 10th Anniversary of Let’s Kick ASS-Palm Springs, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors led by Chair and District 4 Supervisor V. Manuel Perez presented LKAPS President Jax Kelly with a Proclamation. Thanks to every member of our community who makes each day another opportunity to take care of HIV Long-term Survivors. #NHLTSAD Aging and HIV Institute
