The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) will honor Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, recipient of the Congressional Global Champion Award, at a special evening reception on Tuesday, June 24 in Washington, DC.
Leader Pelosi has been an outspoken advocate for those infected with and affected by HIV since the beginning of the epidemic. She understands too well the devastation HIV can cause. Her commitment has been critical in advancing the fight against the disease and helping to lead us to a place where we can now say an AIDS-free generation is in our grasp.
