We're closer than ever to ending pediatric AIDS.
The Pediatric AIDS Coalition began as Dance Marathon at UCLA in 2002. Since then, we've grown from 20 committee members raising $27,000 to a committee of 150 running an event that raised almost $320,000 in a single year. Over 20+ years, PAC has raised more than $6 million for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, The Laurel Foundation, and the UCLA AIDS Institute.
Every dollar you raise funds real research, real treatment, and real hope for a future where every child grows up healthy and HIV-free.
