According to the CDC, youth aged 13-24 accounted for 20% of all new HIV diagnoses in the United States in 2020, despite representing only 7% of the US population (HIV Surveillance Report 2020 (cdc.gov)).
Hearts Everywhere Reaching Out for Children, Inc. (H.E.R.O.) has been committed to improving the quality of life for these children through enriching programs, unforgettable experiences, and connections with the community for the past fifteen years.
Holiday of HEROs is H.E.R.O. for Children's annual outreach to provide children impacted by HIV/AIDS with at least one gift they need and one gift they wantduring the holiday season. Through the outstanding generosity of some exemplary individual and group donors, H.E.R.O. was able to serve a record-breaking 398 children from Atlanta, Athens, Albany, Augusta, and Macon via this program!
Our club donated $1000 to assist in ongoing HEROP programs.
