UTAC Joins the First Ladies Summit

Until There’s A Cure® Foundation continued its support of AIDS-related causes in Africa by serving as an organizing partner of the April 20th Health Summit featuring 17 First Ladies of Africa. The Summit focused on the UN Millennium Goals that are central to our work – combating HIV/AIDS and other diseases, promoting gender equality and empowering women, reducing child mortality, and improving maternal health. Panel discussions, presentations by the First Ladies, and informal conversations placed a spotlight on the continent hardest hit by the AIDS pandemic:

• Sub-Saharan Africa is home to 12% of the world’s population but 65% of all people living with HIV/AIDS.
• Roughly 9 out of 10 children who are HIV positive today hail from African countries.
• Of the children under the age of 18 orphaned by HIV/AIDS worldwide, nearly 80% live in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Candice Wiggins: Phenom With A Cause

Among sports enthusiasts, Minnesota Lynx basketball star Candice Wiggins is a household name. Bright, energetic, competitive, and unfailingly upbeat, Candice rocketed to national fame as an elite high school and collegiate basketball player. In her senior year at Stanford, she led the Cardinal to a championship bid and earned the 2008 State Farm Wade trophy as National Player of the Year.

Off the court, Candice gladly lends her celebrity to AIDS advocacy. She is one of several athletes to participate in Until There's a Cure's public service advertising campaign. Her mission is a personal one. She is the daughter of the late Alan Wiggins, the seven-year MLB second baseman and left fielder for the San Diego Padres and Baltimore Orioles who succumbed to complications from AIDS.
