Item Special Note

"Living and working in a creative community where so many friends and loved ones either live with HIV or have perished from complications related to AIDS, I can't imagine not wanting to support an organization dedicated to not only continuing to raise awareness around but also bringing the end to such a shattering epidemic. The fact that AIDS Action Committee allows such contributions to be made in a creative fashion feels not only deeply appropriate but also beautifully poetic in both mission and mode." - Dan Pecci
