International AIDS Candlelight Memorial

Memorial Info

The International AIDS Candlelight Memorial Campaign, a program of the Global Health Council, is a 12-month mobilization project that encourages communities and individuals around the world to become more involved with HIV/AIDS work through participation in a worldwide memorial. The Memorial takes place every year on the third Sunday of May. The Global Health Council provides all registered communities with the framework to effectively organize a Memorial in their communities.

Once you decide to organize a memorial in your community, you must register to become a "Local Coordinator." As a Local Coordinator, the Global Health Council will provide you with the following items:

Coordination Kit: This kit includes a mobilization manual with ideas and examples on how to wage an effective mobilization. It also has HIV/AIDS statistics and facts, marketing and promotion materials, and a list of all of the other coordinators around the worlds.
The Official Candlelight Poster: If you register by the cut off date, your town, city or village will be included on the poster.
E-Newsletter: You will receive bi-monthly emails about programs and events happening around the Candlelight Memorial. This will also include updates on the progress of the event.
Notification of Global AIDS Events and Opportunities: As a Candlelight Coordinator, you will be notified of various Global AIDS programs and opportunities taking place around the world.

Becoming a Local Coordinator can be very rewarding and exciting. If you have any questions, please contact us and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
