Los Angeles, CA-
Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation (SAAF) has been awarded a grant for $25,000 from The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation (ETAF) in partnership with Macy’s. The grant will be used for HIV Youth Education; which is a unique vehicle to build positive sexual health and self-efficacy among Southern Arizona’s 13-24 year olds.
Through interactive one-time workshops, youth benefit from education covering a wide breadth of information about sexually transmitted infections, including but not limited to HIV. SAAF’s goal is to reduce the number of new HIV infections among youth, with a specific focus on higher risk youth, including LGBTQ+ identified youth or youth of color.
SAAF is honored to be recognized for our innovative approach in support of people affected by HIV and AIDS. “SAAF is a powerful part of a collective effort to achieve an AIDS-free world, a world Elizabeth Taylor is still helping to realize through ETAF,” said Catherine Brown, Executive Director of The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. “ETAF and Macy’s are honored to support SAAF with these funds to continue our aligned goals of health equity and zero discrimination for all people living with or at risk for HIV and AIDS.”
Through their Cause Marketing Program, Thanks For Sharing, Macy’s recognizes their responsibility to support disadvantaged communities and the needs of their neighbors. They are proud to partner with ETAF and have contributed to this grant.
