Where: Heritage Park on Capital Lake - Olympia, WA

Please come and join in the world wide celebration of the 25th International AIDS Candlelight Memorial, a program of the Global Health Council.

Join in remembrance of those who have died of AIDS both locally and world-wide and to help in creating awareness about the impact HIV/AIDS is having on our local community and abroad.

Instead of candles we will be using items that represent life.

  • Bring a piece of nature such as a flower, leaf, rock, shell, etc… to signify life
  • Bring pictures and/or stories of individuals you know who are affected by AIDS

Music begins at 6:30pm Donations for AHOPE for Children AIDS orphans and United Community AIDS Network are appreciated

For more information contact Jasmine Azpiri at 971-218-0050 or for more information about the world-wide event visit: http://www.candlelightmemorial.org
