| Additional Information | The Names Project Foundation works to preserve and use the AIDS Memorial Quilt to raise awareness about AIDS. The quilt itself weighs nearly 54 tons and has over 48,000 panels that are dedicated to more than 94,000 individuals, most of whom lost their lives to AIDS, and is a well-recognized symbol for the AIDS epidemic. The quilt is often used to fight prejudice, fundraise, and to unite people in the fight against AIDS. |
