I understand that there will be fundraising around the candlelight vigil. Could you go into more detail about that?
Dr. Valadez
Well, sure, let me give you the information. This project is done in collaboration with the North County AIDS Coalition. We will be selling tickets, or vouchers, for candles starting in October. The vouchers can be traded for candles at the event on December 1st. We plan to divide the money into two directions: one half of the money will go to local AIDS charities, specifically, Fraternity House, Inc., who work with patients, AIDS patients, in north county, who are in hospice. The other half will go to the World Health Organization, who work with orphanages and create hospitals in the third world for people with AIDS.
