The Project of the Quad Cities is dedicated to raising awareness of HIV/AIDS year round and with World AIDS Day quickly approaching on December 1st, TPQC has planned several community events to commemorate the day.
The Project of the Quad Cities has been working diligently for nearly 30 years to provide services to those at risk of contracting, affected by or living with HIV/STI/AIDS. To kick off the 30th anniversary, TPQC will be hosting Project Chocolate, a fundraising event, at Jumers Hotel and Casino from 6:00PM to 9:00PM on December 1st. Project Chocolate is a chocolate lover's dream that gives attendees the chance to taste a variety of sweet and savory chocolate creations made by local Quad Cities Vendors. Tickets are $10 (children 6 and under are free) and can be purchased at the door or in advance.
Because one in eight Americans do not know they have HIV, to encourage HIV testing, TPQC, the Moline-Davenport Alumnae Chapter Delta Sigma Theta Sorority (MDAC) and Community Health Care in Rock Island are hosting In You Backyard: Knowledge is Power, a free testing event. The event will be held at the Community Health Care in Rock Island, located at 2750 11th Street, Rock Island, IL from 8:30AM to 12:00PM on World AIDS Day. MDAC will be providing food and giveaways.
Lastly, on Wednesday, December 2nd at 7:00PM, Metropolitan Church of the Quad Cities will be holding an HIV/AIDS service in their Sanctuary located at 2930 West Locust in Davenport. The service is dedicated to raising HIV/AIDS awareness and remembering those who have died of the disease. The proceeds from this event benefit The Project of the Quad Cities.
We hope you will join us to raise HIV/AIDS awareness in the community and create a future where HIV/STIS/AIDS is no longer stigmatized and everyone living with, affected by, or at risk of contracting HIV/STI/AIDS has the support they need to succeed.
