VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS

Our first two galas raised close to $9 million for lifesaving AIDS research and quickly established this amfAR event as a coveted ticket on the Palm Beach social calendar. We are immensely grateful to our hosts, sponsors, and the Palm Beach community for their remarkable generosity and for enabling us to make critical advances towards a cure for AIDS.
