Welcome to all of our
supporters and visitors!

As FACT Bucks County enters 2010 we find ourselves in the same boat as all other non-profits — strapped for cash.

Our receipts for last year were down 20% on top of a decline of 20% the previous year. This put us in a situation where we unfortunately could not fund our yearly grant program.

However, with all of our supporter’s generosity and an amazing army of volunteers, we raised enough money to cover the emergency funding program which is the core of our mission.

And now we are back to it, trying to raise the necessary funds that allow us to provide emergency funding to individuals with HIV/AIDS who are in desperate need of the basic necessities of life, but due to illness cannot afford their rent, utility, medication, and other monthly expenses.

This year started off with one of our popular Bingo nights, “We Love Lucy!”. Have you ever seen so many red-heads in one room? Our tireless bingo volunteer team and Miss Pumpkin once again made bingo a stunning success.

Coming up this year we have not only three more bingos to look forward to, but we have added a cabaret night in addition to our yearly AIDS Walk and themed event.

Last year was the 10th anniversary of our AIDS Walk and we unfortunately were rained out. It was a disappointment until the sun came out just as the walk commenced and the great group of walkers who weathered the storm set off to complete the circuit around New Hope, Center Bridge, Stockton, and Lambertville. Many of those die hard walkers had been coming yearly since we started the event. This year the walk will be on Sunday, October 3rd, 2010. It is the 11th year for this event and we are counting on seeing you all there. Please turn out for us in the 11th hour!

Our themed event will be held on Saturday night, October 23rd. Once again our not-to-be-missed party promises to astound! We will be dancing once again at The Rago Arts Center in Lambertville. Keep checking our website for more details as the party planning is progressing and is momentarily top secret! I can tell you, fangs will be necessary!

And please remember gang, we always need volunteers for all of our events, so call us or email us if you can help out in any way. We are also now set up with PayPal, so you can donate online with us.

And finally, HIV/AIDS is still a major pandemic worldwide. There is no cure yet. The available therapies work well for some and fail at some point for others. The areas that FACT, Bucks County serves, Bucks County in Pennsylvania, and Hunterdon and Mercer Counties in New Jersey are all still seeing a rise in the newly infected. And we here at FACT are there for anyone in need, when the need arises.

Until there’s a cure, we need your help.

Thank you all for you continued support,

Morrie Breyer
