World AIDS Day 2011

This year one of the Chicago Team’s social issue focuses is AIDS.  Both the Chicago and D.C. teams will work with organizations who provide services and support to individuals living with and/or impacted by AIDS.

Today in observance of World AIDS Day, which takes place annually on December 1, we would like to encourage everyone to get educated, get tested, and join the fight against AIDS.  Not sure where to start?  Click on the picture to learn more,  find out how to get involved, and be connected to a list of resources.

Make sure to preorder goodies for your self or someone you know and help support the challenge!
