Submitted by Pierce County AIDS Foundation
The Pierce County AIDS Foundation has been awarded $10,000 as a winner of a 2016 BECU People Helping People Community Benefit Award for their work in providing access to shelter, medical attention, and food to individuals who are HIV positive in Pierce County.
“The HIV epidemic isn’t over,” said, Erick Seelbach, PCAF Executive Director. “This generous grant from BECU will allow us to continue our work in Pierce, Thurston, Mason, and Lewis counties providing education and outreach to prevent the spread of the disease and the important services to help people who are infected remain healthy and connected to care.”
In its fourth year, the BECU People Helping People Awards were established to acknowledge and celebrate the non-profits in the community that members support through volunteering or providing monetary contributions. Over 250 nominations were submitted by members and BECU awarded $170,000 to 13 local non-profit organizations.
