Candlelight Memorial 2011

The AIDS Candlelight memorial has been held annually for over 15 years. It is the time when members of the community can come together and reflect on and remember all those who have died from HIV/AIDS.

At the memorial, names are read out by a cross section of the community, including family members, partners, young and old.

By buying a tealight pack (or by making a secure donation here) you are helping to ensure that the memorial is held each year.

The money raised through the Red Ribbon Appeal is vital to the work of ACON as it helps us prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS through education campaigns as well as to provide the services and facilities essential to the health and wellbeing of people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS across NSW.

HIV/AIDS has already robbed us of over 6,700 Australians. Right now, 16,500 brothers, sisters, lovers and friends are living with HIV. And sadly, each week 20 more are newly diagnosed.

Treatments have advanced significantly in recent years, but there is still more work to do and there are still many people living with HIV/AIDS who need care and support. Your support will improve the health of the communities we serve and help break down barriers of discrimination which lead to poor health outcomes.

Make a contribution to the health and wellbeing of your community on World AIDS Day.
