Village Hillcrest – 3955 Fifth Ave, San Diego, CA 92103

Each year, Mama’s Kitchen and Village Hillcrest jointly host the Annual Tree of Life Ceremony to commemorate World AIDS Day. This special event serves as a time to recognize and remember those who have been affected by AIDS, as well as to honor the ongoing leadership efforts being made toward ending the epidemic.
World AIDS Day provides an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV, show support for individuals living with HIV, and commemorate those who have died from an AIDS-related illness. The Tree of Life Ceremony is traditionally an evening of special memories, singing, and sharing, culminating in a poignant candle lighting ceremony to honor all those affected by AIDS.
The celebration of the Tree of Life will include several key elements:

• Community Recognition Awards will be presented to acknowledge impactful contributions within the community.
  
• Special Guest Speakers will share their insights and perspectives.
  
• The ceremonial Tree Lighting will take place.
  
• A Candlelight Vigil will be held for remembrance and reflection.
  
• Refreshments will be provided for attendees.
  
• Holiday Music will be performed by the San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus, setting a moving and festive tone.
  

We look forward to seeing the community come together for this significant annual commemoration!
