In a World AIDS Day announcement, philanthropist Bob North has announced his family’s commitment to establish a $3.5 million endowment for APLA. The endowment ranks among the largest gifts to a U.S.-based AIDS service organization and will honor Vance North, son of Bob and Lois. Vance died of AIDS-related complications in 1995. The endowment will support all of APLA’s critical direct client services, along with its prevention and advocacy efforts. In recognition of the creation of the endowment, the agency will rename its food pantry network, the largest of its kind nationwide, as the “Vance North Necessities of Life Program.” Read more about the gift here.
