Dear Friends,

We are celebrating the 13th annual "Treasures for TIHAN" benefit auction, and we hope that you can be part of this year's event and help us raise funds to support people living with HIV/AIDS and build a healthier community!

Join us for festive music with Apocalypso, fantastic hors d'oeuvres, no-host cocktails, compassionate people, and wonderful auction items to raise funds to make a difference in the lives of those living with HIV/AIDS:

"TIHAN is a good organization because it makes us people living with HIV feel loved and needed in society. In every help and support you offer, I greatly appreciate it."
