At the Aug. 11 event, funds raised from the 2021-2022 season were granted to 24 North Texas HIV/AIDS Service Organizations (ASOs).
Including allocations from this year, DIFFA/Dallas has exceeded $50 million in grants for HIV/AIDS direct care services and education to local AIDS Service Organizations alongside the DIFFA national fund.
The event featured remarks by David White (DIFFA/Dallas 2021-2022 Board Chair), Cindy Ryan (Bryan’s House) and Mukam Jendayi (AIN). “DIFFA has been a part of Bryan’s House since the very beginning,” Ryan said. “Without them, we wouldn’t be where we are today in helping up to 1,200 children with special needs.” Jendayi presented DIFFA/Dallas with a letter of thanks for their ongoing support of their mission to prevent the spread of HIV and serves persons living with HIV/AIDS and other vulnerable populations. “On behalf of AIN, I want to thank DIFFA for being such strong financial supporters of our work for over 20 years,” she said.
