AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) began its World AIDS Day initiative, Around the Globe in a Day, with Keep the Promise in Los Angeles on November 30. Keep the Promise, which welcomed thousands of people for a march down Hollywood Boulevard and a free concert at the Dolby Theater, was an advocacy effort created to continue to spread awareness about HIV and AIDS. Hosted by Rosie Perez, the concert was headlined by Patti LaBelle and also featured Common and JoJo. In addition, AHF presented living legend Harry Belafonte with its Lifetime Achievement Award for his charitable work and activism all over the world at the event.

The Los Angeles-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) is a global non-profit organization providing cutting-edge medicine and advocacy to more than 641,000 people in 37 countries. Generating new, innovative ways of treatment, prevention and advocacy has been the hallmark of AHF’s success. AHF continues its Around the Globe in a Day activities with free concerts and testing events in Cambodia, Mexico and other areas throughout the U.S., Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe and Asia.
