World AIDS Day Tribute

Please join us in remembrance – The AIDS Memorial quilt panels contain the stories of the lives lost, the heroes, and the survivors. CoastPride is pleased to have a panel with a local connection to display in honor of World AIDS Day 2021—especially relevant as we experience another global pandemic.
CoastPride supporter and local business owner Christopher Childers will be there in person November 29 and 30 to share a first-hand perspective of the early AIDS epidemic and present a video interview with his sister, Soozi Childers, who designed the personal quilt panel.

Also, to honor his commitment to AIDS advocacy, we have created a display of the t-shirt and memorabilia collection of the late Dr. Alvan E. Fisher, who in 1983 treated the first Rhode Islander diagnosed with AIDS, going on to become a pioneer in the treatment of people with the disease. Dr. Fisher’s wife, Pamela Fisher, will be there in person on December 1st to share her experience during those days.
Vintage t-shirts, posters, and hats from the Fisher’s donation will be available with a $35.00 or more donation per item. Limited quantity. Items cannot be released until after the exhibit ends on December 3, 2021.
