Benefit: The Lorenzo Jackson Foundation First Annual Gala

On November 19, 2008, The Lorenzo Jackson Foundation held their First Annual Gala at Rush Arts Gallery, New York City. The Lorenzo Jackson Foundation is a non-profit organization that is focused on inspiring young people living with HIV/AIDS to move forward with their lives and pursue their education, among other things. The founder of this great organization is Alexander Everett. We attended this worthy and memorable event.

Speakers at this event were Maria Davis, HIV/AIDS activist, Chakena ‘C.C.’ Conway, Youth HIV/AIDS Activist, and Dr. Jeffrey Birnbaum, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Preventative Medicine at SUNY Downstate Medical Center. Dr. Birnbaum was also honored for his great work with youths with HIV/AIDS.

There were special performances by Baby Triggy, rapper, and Lee Carr, R&B artiste. The hosts for the evening were Mashonda Tifrere-Dean, R&B Artiste, and Chyna Layne, actor. There were many special guests in attendance.

By now the entire world knows the seriousness of HIV/AIDS. There are many individuals and organizations worldwide that are dedicated to finding a cure and promoting prevention. The Lorenzo Jackson Foundation encourages infected youths to fight on and to live life as normal as possible, and not give up. They offer scholarships and other programs to execute their mission. Please support them and please visit their website and make a donation.
