Party With a Purpose
is a dynamic international initiative which actively involves young people by providing youth a place where they can speak out against the stigmas and taboos surrounding HIV and AIDS. By using all aspects of youth culture (their icons, their media, and their favorite music and dance) Dance4Life provides an energetic and engaging platform to address these serious issues.We hope you can join us for this worthwhile and wildly fun event! Please click on the image above to sign up on the guest list. Admission is free, and Ultrabar will donate for each person on the list who comes out to the event!

Event: (Get Involved.)
National Black HIV AIDS Awareness Day Candlelight Vigil
WHAT: National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day Candlelight Vigil
WHO: Metro TeenAIDS youth and peer educators
WHERE: Outside the Eastern Market Metro Stop
WHEN: Thursday, February 7, from 5-6pm
WHY: When more than 80% of HIV/AIDS cases in the District of Columbia are among African Americans, clearly the face of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the District is a black one. And when HIV infection rates among District youth tripled for the 2001-2006 period as compared to the previous five years, young people are being impacted by the epidemic at increasing rates. To bring light to this situation and give youth a chance to speak their minds, Metro TeenAIDS will hold a Candlelight Vigil to speak openly and crush HIV/AIDS stigma in our community. The event will be broadcast by EZ Street of 93.9 fm and it will be a ‘serious celebration’ of everyone that has been affected by this devastating disease, but especially African American youth.
HOW: Be prepared to light a candle highlighting the struggles of DC’s African-American youth, too many of whom are affected by HIV & AIDS.
** immediately after at 6pm there will be a National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day Basketball
Event at Kelly Miller Recreation Center: 301 49th St NE, close to the Benning Rd Metro **
Organizations/Websites: (Get Educated.)
Black AIDS Day Website
Metro Teen AIDS Website
Students Partnership Worldwide (SPW) USA Website
Dance 4 Life International Website
*SPW will be implementing the Dance 4 Life USA program right here in Washington, DC this spring.
