The Chicago Academy for the Arts

Championing the fight against pediatric HIV and AIDS

29 Years of Impact

The Chicago Academy for the Arts (CAA) has once again showcased the power of students coming together to create a world free of pediatric AIDS.

In 2025, they hosted their 29th Annual AIDS Benefit. It was amazing example of how CAA students are using their talents to raise awareness and funds for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF)

The AIDS Benefit at CAA is more than just a performance—it’s a labor of love.

Every year, students from each department showcase their talent, all under the direction and curation of student leadership.

The director and assistant director are both students, making this benefit a true testament to student power and creativity.

Thank You For Making A Difference

Your energy, passion, and commitment show that students have the power to make real change. Every year, you inspire us—and we’re excited to keep performing, fundraising, and fighting together!
