What started as the West
Hollywood Palms has become the West Hollywood Memorial Walk,
a tribute to life and a promise to those lost to continue
our commitment to improve the quality of life for people
living with HIV/AIDS.
Developed in cooperation with the City of West Hollywood,
these memorial plaques line the sidewalks of Santa Monica
Boulevard from Fairfax Avenue to Doheny Drive. Not only do
the plaques remind our community every day of our need to
assist and find compassion for those who suffer from
HIV/AIDS, but they enable a valuable community asset to act
on that generosity and compassion in a healing way.
Every West Hollywood Memorial Walk Plaque donation is used
to provide funding for the pivotal services that Aid For
AIDS (AFA) provides to people living with HIV/AIDS. As Los
Angeles County's oldest and largest provider of financial
assistance to people living with HIV/AIDS, AFA helps
thousands of clients each year pay for rent, utilities,
food, and pharmaceutical needs when they are
threatened by homelessness and the financial crises a health condition often causes.
Loved ones eligible for a
bronze plaque on the West Hollywood Memorial Walk are those
who have passed away and were HIV-positive. You can contact
the Aid For AIDS Development Department by emailing
Alex Strautman
or calling 323-344-4880.
