AIDS Help Fundraising Committee is made up of dedicated, creative, enthusiastic, and hard-working volunteers. This committee, pictured above, has constantly exceeded fundraising goals and expectations.

Each member is solidly committed to the Mission of AIDS Help and devoted to the ideal that those persons with HIV/AIDS living within the Florida Keys will get the help they need to live with respect
and dignity.

Top EVENTS - Community Raised Funds

All money raised in Monroe County stays in Monroe County.

Approximately 22.1% of the budget for AIDS Help was raised through local events, donations and bequests.

The community-raised funds allowed AIDS Help to meet the requirements necessary to qualify for over $3.7 million of state and federal funds for client services and education.

During 2009, AIDS Help raised $525,376 at special events due to the involvement and commitment of the Key West community.

Events such as the campaigns for

  • King and Queen of Fantasy Fest
  • Taste of Key West
  • The Vintners’ Dinner
  • The SMART Ride
  • Annual Art Auction
  • Antonia’s Angel Dinner
  • Michaels’ Red Ribbon Affair
  • Café Solé Brunch
  • Hot Tin Roof Sunset Dinner
  • Tree of Hope
  • Share the Wreath
  • The Royal Tea
  • The Red Ribbon Bed Race
  • Miss Closet Ball
  • Miss Firecracker
  • Bottlecap fundraiser

All bequests are designated by the Board for the acquisition and construction of housing for our clients.

The Fundraising Committee is always looking for new events to help raise funds to meet the needs of the AIDS Help clients and offset declining state and federal funding.

The services they provide here are second to none and can all be accomplished under one roof, so the client does not have to search all over to find what one needs. Having said that I truly believe that what makes this organization so special is the unconditional love and compassion that each and every client receives from the staff.”
