World AIDS Day
WORLD AIDS DAY
Friday, December 1, 2023
This is the 35th Anniversary of World AIDS Day. This year’s theme is “Remember and Commit.”
This annual event serves as a reminder of the global struggle to end HIV-related stigma, an opportunity to honor those we have lost, and a rallying cry to commit to working toward a day when HIV is no longer a public health threat.
We will be holding an internal candlelit service with clients, staff and board in memory of those we have lost and in hope for a future free of HIV/AIDS.

Dining Out For Life®
In the heart of the greater Nashville area, a movement is stirring – one that combines the simple joy of dining with the profound impact of philanthropy. Nashville CARES, which celebrates its 40th year as Middle Tennessee’s preeminent HIV/AIDS service provider this year, is thrilled to announce its participation in its 23rd annual Dining Out For Life® - a landmark event that has made a significant impact in the battle against HIV in Middle Tennessee.
