What PAC Means to Me!! 💃🕺

Wednesday 7th Feb
On my tour of UCLA a little less than a year before I packed up my Parisian life and destined myself for sunny Los Angeles, my eye caught a group of students wearing bright highlighter yellow t-shirts. They were listening to music, handing out flyers, and speaking with passing by students with enthusiasm I could detect from 40 yards away. I zeroed in onto their table to learn that they were a student organization on campus called the Pediatric Aids Coalition. Watching them made me smile. Not only were they advocating for such an important cause, but they were doing it with an energy, devotion, and passion that was contagious and heartwarming. I remember thinking to myself, if by chance I end up at UCLA, I'm joining PAC. Now, as a member of PAC, I could not be happier to spread word of our amazing cause. 

Change being something I've experienced my whole life, I found that through commitment to community engagement I was able to find a home and family no matter where I am. Joining PAC has made me feel at home here in LA. 

Alongside being a supportive organization, what really makes PAC special is the cause. Every single member of PAC is fully dedicated to working towards an HIV/AIDS free future. Everything we do, to working one with families impacted by HIV/AIDS, to individually raising money, to organizing Dance Marathon, is with that single goal in mind. PAC has sparked within me a need to advocate and make change in a world still plagued by stigma, miseducation, and lack of medical care to those who need it the most. 

This Spring I will be dancing in my first Dance Marathon (of many) and am hoping to raise as much money as possible to go towards the organization!! Although Dance Marathon only lasts 13-hours, being in PAC has dedicated me to taking a (literal) stand against pediatric HIV/AIDS for life. 

Thank you to my Sponsors

Hi Sophia, I'm excited you chose PAC to share your time and talent in helping fight pediatric aids. As a college student in 1989-91, I wrote several articles on HIV; and because contracting the virus through a blood transfusion was so new, that was my very first news article! I continued to write stories on HIV from different angles and even got tested myself so I could write about the experience I had so others could learn more about the virus. We can talk someday about your experience-I'd love to hear all about it! Love, Aunt Kathleen
