AIDS/HIV Fundraising Ideas

Charitable groups that focus on AIDS/HIV have common goals: Awareness, Prevention and Finding a Cure. They also share a common problem: Fundraising. There are as many AIDS/HIV Fundraisers are there are AIDS/HIV organizations and not all of them have big named celebrities or the means to throw multi-million dollar elaborate events.

One of the biggest decisions faced is often deciding what type of fundraiser to do. In Calgary, they have been throwing the crazy and fun-loving, highly media covered Drag-Queen Coronation Ball fundraiser for 37 years for charitable groups.
