Proud recipient of the 2008 Pride South Florida Grant for the second year in a row.

 The NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt, as a powerful, visible symbol of the AIDS epidemic, provides unique opportunities to engage discussions about HIV/AIDS. Through presentation tailored to specific needs, our volunteers open the Quilt as a catalyst for conversation, questions and personal action.

We are committed to:

  • Providing a creative means for remembering and healing
  • Increasing public awareness of the AIDS epidemic
  • Assisting with HIV/AIDS prevention education
  • Helping to raise funds for community based AIDS service organizations .

CURRENT SHOWING
The NAMES Project South Florida Chapter of the AIDS Memorial Quilt will be showing over 300, 12 x 12 foot sections beginning the week of September 8th and continuing thru December5th 2008. The majority of these sections will be displayed during the NMAC conference being held at the Broward Convention Center Sept 18th-20th,.

Six hotels along the 17th Street Causeway and Ft.Lauderdale Beach have requested The Quilt to be hung in their lobby during this time. Additional displays are being scheduled for both Miami International Airport and the Ft.Lauderdale Airport.

After the conference, a portion the display will continue to the Galleria Mall for display and West Palm Beach Compass in observance of World AIDS Day.

We are in need of volunteers to help inventory, hang The Quilt in the hotels and pack up for transport to other destinations and displays after the conference. We will be hosting a volunteer training on Saturday September 13th, from 1 – 3PM at the GLCC, located at 1717 N Andrews Ave in Fort Lauderdale. If you are available and would like to help please contact Jodi.
