8Elton John – Elton John AIDS Foundation
Since its creation 1992, the Elton John AIDS Foundation has raised over $385 million for AIDS treatment. The non-profit has a mission to end the AIDS epidemic by providing information and means to prevent infection as well as to give access to medical care and treatment for those living with HIV/AIDS. The Elton John AIDS Foundation celebrated their 25th anniversary this fall with a Gala to honor Elton John and his contributions. Elton John is constantly challenging all that we can do: “We have both the moral obligation and the power to end this epidemic. Do we have the will? I know I do, and I will remain committed to this cause for the rest of my life.”
