AIDS Foundation Chicago Associate Board

This weekend, the AFC Associate Board came together for our annual Summer Retreat: a time to reflect, reconnect, and set the foundation for the year ahead.

Together, we prioritized our goals, aligned on our vision, and established meaningful intentions to further support the mission of the AIDS Foundation Chicago. These conversations strengthen not only our board, but also our commitment to creating lasting impact for the communities we serve.

LINK IN BIO, join the team or donate! On September 26 the AB will RESIST, RESTORE, and RENEW at AIDS Run & Walk Chicago by raising funds. We are showing up to demonstrate strength in numbers, defy powerful interests that threaten our progress, and to care for one another and sustain our activism. We’re pledging our continued support to fight to end the HIV epidemic. Join the AB team or support by making a contribution with the link in bio!

This past weekend, our Associate Board members and an incredible group of volunteers team up to run the beverage tent at Chicago Pride! As a board, one of our favorite things to do is get out into the community, roll up our sleeves, and support AFC’s mission firsthand. We had an absolute blast keeping everyone refreshed, celebrating love and inclusion, and connecting with so many of you.

A massive thank you to every single AB member and volunteer who gave their time and energy to make this event such a success. We are so proud of what this team can accomplish when we work together! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
