ACON raises awareness and funds for World AIDS Day

BY GEMMA FERGUSON

Saturday, December 1st, marks this year's World AIDS Day.

ACON has teamed up with NSW's best HIV prevention group and the HIV support and LGBTI health organisation to raise awareness and funds for those affected by the illness.

"The money we raise allows us to deliver programs and services to people living with HIV while educating others on how we can reduce transmissions," says ACON CEO Nicholas Parkhill.

From Friday the 23rd of November, ACON will be selling Red Ribbon merchandise from their Islington office. They encourage other Hunter businesses to do the same.

The organisation will also be hosting a Beaumont Street fundraiser morning tea next Wednesday.

If you or your business are interested in getting involved, call ACON Hunter on (02) 4962 7700.
