“I enjoyed the event. The intimate setting of the Gus Harper Studios along with his paintings was perfect. You were able to bring together people who are passionate about the disease to come give their time and money for this cause.

African Americans and Hispanics make up 25% of the U.S. population and 77% of all reported AIDS cases in the U.S. We all must do our part in keeping this disease in the forefront and in people’s minds. Tell the people we care about to get tested.
