The evening helped raise awareness around the alarming rise in HIV/AIDS rates in Washington, D.C., and the need to mobilize leadership in the Black community and at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. The reception also helped inspire community and civic leaders, elected officials, and corporate partners alike to strengthen their determination to help reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS among the disproportionately impacted communities they serve.
