Gala35 marks our 35th year of service and will be our premier gathering of AFC supporters. We will look back on the history of AFC while also looking forward to the future: the achievement of Getting to Zero Illinois. This ambitious, community-built plan aims to end new cases of HIV in our state by 2030 and connect all Illinoisans living with HIV and AIDS to robust health care services. This bold plan can only be achieved by transforming systems rooted in racism and white supremacy.
AIDS Foundation Chicago was founded 35 years ago and helped people living with AIDS die with dignity. Now, that same organization is here to help people living with and disproportionately affected by HIV and chronic conditions live long, healthy lives.
It’s an especially momentous occasion as the gala is now only every five years. Moreover, AFC, the Illinois and Chicago Departments of Public Health and community partners across the state are leading the Getting to Zero Illinois initiative, which will significantly increase the number of individuals connected to care and achieve fewer than 100 new cases of HIV in Illinois by 2030. Join us on this journey as we count down to Zero.
