FT WAYNE: This Week Coming Soon To A Stage Near You.

Keep The Promise theme for World AIDS Day this year

December 1st commemorates the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day, a day in which everyone at risk for contracting AIDS or knows someone at risk takes time to remember those lost to the disease, living with HIV or AIDS, and pushing for a cure, and maintain the fight so that future generations will not be affected by HIV/AIDS.
