AccolAIDS Awards 2008
| It was a gathering of heroes at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver on the evening of Sunday, April 13th 2008. Nominees, community leaders and people living with HIV gathered to celebrate the 7th Annual AccolAIDS Awards at the BCPWA fundraising gala.
About 250 people attended the gala, which is one of BCPWA’s largest fundraising events. Over $97,000 was raised to benefit the vital programs and services provided by BCPWA, such as treatment information and support services for people living with HIV/AIDS. The evening included gourmet cuisine, live entertainment and, silent and live auctions. This year’s 31 nominees demonstrate that AIDS heroes truly come in all shapes and sizes. Nominated heroes include a dog who has served on the Downtown Eastside for 12 years, Vancouver’s own street nurses and a grandmother who delivers flowers weekly to dozens of AIDS patients. However a number of ‘super heroes’ stood out as winners in their categories, including a woman who offers a mobile needle exchange out of her car, the innovative programs of the Community Based Research Center, and a number of remarkable activists. |
