Description
Boston University’s Dance Marathon is an 18-hour event that raises money for Pediatric AIDS. We donate to Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) and Camp Heartland. EGPAF is a foundation dedicated to pediatric AIDS research for treatment and prevention options for children. This world-wide organization is credited with the drastic lowering of mother to child transmission of HIV through breast milk. Camp Heartland is a camp located with its main campground in Willow River, Minnesota. It is a safe haven for kids infected and affected by HIV/ AIDS. Campers here go to camp for a week free of cost and are surrounded with love and support and freed of the stigma accompanying the disease. (For more information about either of our beneficiaries please check out www.pedaids.org or www.campheartland.org.)
