The Focus on AIDS Foundation is pleased to announce the Focus on AIDS 13 Benefit Auctiontaking place May 1, 2009 in Los Angeles. FOA is America's largest and most prestigious auction

of rare, vintage and contemporary photographs in support of AIDS research, care & education.

Since its inception in 1987, The Focus on AIDS auctions have raised over $3 million dollars for leading AIDS charities worldwide. Our not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization is completely volunteer driven and relies totally on the generosity, and resources of the photo community. Our auctions

benefit children’s hospitals and shelters we helped found and build in India and Tanzania.Additional funding goes to global AIDS charities with proven records for outstanding research,education, and rehabilitation.

Focus on AIDS 13 offers both serious art collectors and affluent photography lovers a chance toview and bid the most celebrated and cutting-edge photography through live and “silent”

auctions at an event that is renown for its sophisticated elegance and essential good will. Moreimportantly, the auction offers meaningful relief to children and adults suffering from apreventable global pandemic.

Our logo was created by Keith Haring specifically for our first auction. We still use it today in hishonor, to remember the early days of HIV/AIDS, and to remind ourselves how far we’ve come

and how far we have to go. Please join us in making this our most successful year ever. Your donations and purchases of outstanding photography have a tangible effect on those in need.
