What is light in the grove

A magical celebration of Reunion, Remembrance, and Renewal in the National AIDS Memorial Grove. Held annually on November 30th, the eve of World AIDS Day, it is our largest annual fundraising event with tickets available via Eventbrite. The night is a unique and inspiring experience that is consistently recognized as one of the Bay Area’s best LGBTQ+ community fundraising events.

Why is Light in the Grove Important?

All proceeds directly support the mission and programs of the National AIDS Memorial. These programs range from scholarships for young activists to outreach honoring lives lost and preventing future harm. Our work helps ensure that the lives of people who died from AIDS are not forgotten and the story of AIDS is known by future generations - so that never again will a community be harmed because of fear, silence, discrimination, or stigma.

BRING YOUR LIGHT

Each year, because of the generosity of our community, Light in the Grove is our largest fundraising event with 100% of your personal donation supporting the mission of the National AIDS Memorial. Your support ensures that our powerful public programs remain strong. including the ongoing care of our beloved 10-acre National AIDS Memorial Grove and the 50,000 panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt.
