BP Spotlight

AIDS Walk 2004

More than two dozen Body Positive staffers and supporters, as well as friends from Pace University, the New York Gay Hockey Club, joined Team BP at the NYC AIDS Walk on Sunday, May 16. Pledges made to participants in the 10K loop around Central Park set fundraising records for BP, which participates in the walk each year.

Garden Gala XVII

BP's longest running tradition and most important annual fundraising event, Garden Gala XVII, was held once again at the gracious East Hampton home of Jerry Della Femina and Judy Licht on June 5. This year's James Revson Award, named for the founder of Garden Gala, was presented to actress and AIDS activist Marj Dusay of the CBS daytime program Guiding Light.

The Body Positive Peer Education team conducted outreach once again at this year's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride March, held on June 27 on Fifth Avenue. The team reached more than 400 revelers with outreach packets with Helpline cards and condoms, as well as copies of Body Positive Magazine, SIDAahora, and other publications.
