AIDS Project RI Offers Two Collector's Edition Holiday Ornaments
EDGE READ TIME: 2 MIN.
AIDS Project Rhode Island is pleased to introduce two new collector's edition holiday ornaments!
"These ornaments will raise greatly needed dollars for the fight against HIV/AIDS, and, we hope, will raise spirits and give hope during a season that can be a trying time for many," said Stephen Hourahan, AIDS Project Rhode Island's executive director.
He noted that AIDS Project Rhode Island's ornaments have been collected by many people for years. "This year we're offering two new ones to add to collections. If you've been a collector, don't miss out. Plus we offer earlier ornaments for sale as well at a reduced price."
"Gift of Hope 2016" was inspired by the graffiti-art style of Keith Haring, a celebrated New York City-based artist. He was diagnosed with AIDS in 1988 and passed away from AIDS-related complications in 1990 at age 31. "Gift of Hope 2016" is fine porcelain with 24 karat gold accents, and shows a child opening a gift.
"Gathering of Hope 2016" features a winter scene with angels around a tree. It is also fine porcelain with 24-karat gold accents.
AIDS Project Rhode Island (APRI) was founded approximately 30 years ago as a non-profit organization dedicated to providing compassionate, non-judgmental and collaborative response to the needs of people infected, affected and at-risk of HIV/AIDS.
Over the years, APRI accomplished this mission through leadership in prevention, education, supportive services and advocacy.
In 2008, APRI expanded its array of services by merging with another AIDS Service Organization (ASO), Family Service of Rhode Island. The unification of two major ASOs created a broader system of care accessible through one entry point.
Today, APRI, as a division of Family Service of Rhode Island, continues its tradition of excellence while energetically developing new programs and approaches to meet today's challenges.
