This year's inaugural event will end in the early hours of World AIDS Day. World AIDS Day, observed December 1, is dedicated to raising awareness of the global AIDS epidemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. Students, faculty and staff will unite with the hope to collectively raise $15,000 for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
