RED + BLACK. ❤️🖤 Red is Night Gala.

A little BTS from our interview setup for Aunt Rita’s RED Gala, bringing the night’s theme into every frame.

We sat down with advocates, government leaders, community partners, and changemakers working across Arizona’s HIV community.

Important voices. Powerful stories. And one sharp-looking set. 🎥✨

We were thrilled to work with Aunt Rita’s Foundation to bring the stories behind this year’s RED Gala to the screen. ❤️

This is a small snippet from one of the films we created together, highlighting the mission, the community, and the incredible people continuing the fight against HIV in Arizona.

Thank you, Aunt Rita’s, for trusting us to help share these stories and shine a light on the impact you’re making. 🎥❤️

We were honored to join the @auntritas Foundation for their Annual RED is the Night fundraising gala! This meaningful event supports partner agencies providing critical HIV services across Arizona while advancing advocacy, education, prevention, and access to resources.

We’re proud to partner with Aunt Rita’s through our HIV/STI Prevention team, providing accessible, stigma-free testing, education, and support for members of our community.

We’re grateful for partnerships like this that bring us closer to ending HIV in Arizona. And, of course, we love the color red! ❤️

Spent the afternoon with our friends at @auntritas talking about RED is the Night, their annual gala raising critical funds to support HIV services and programs across Arizona.

As co-chair of Phoenix Fast-Track Cities, I’m proud to work alongside Aunt Rita’s as we continue working toward our goal of ending the HIV epidemic by 2030.

Looking forward to RED is the Night on September 26!

PHOENIX, AZ: Summer is better when we show up for one another. ☀️❤️

This week, our Phoenix team joined the Aunt Rita’s Foundation for “Summer of Prevention” in recognition of Zero HIV Stigma Day.

Community members were invited to leave messages of hope and support, reminding everyone affected by HIV that they are seen, valued, and never alone. We were also proud to have our Practice Administrator, Eric, share remarks on the importance of ending stigma and creating welcoming spaces where everyone can access care without judgment.

Thank you to Aunt Rita’s Foundation and everyone who stopped by to stand with us.

Coconut Cherry Heaven, this cupcake is a coconut cupcake filled with cherry almond compote and finished with toasted coconut buttercream with coconut shavings, rainbow pearls, a disco ball, and a pride heart.

This cupcake is rooted in remembrance. Terry Higgins, a beloved DJ at the UK nightclub Heaven, fell ill suddenly and was hospitalized with pneumonia. During his final days, he asked his cousin Lynne to bring him a coconut cake with cherry filling. Tragically, he passed before she could return. Terry is remembered as the first named individual in the UK to lose his life to HIV/AIDS‑related complications.

We introduce this cupcake as the second in our Pride Week lineup, honoring Terry’s legacy and the community he represents. All proceeds of our Pride themed cupcakes will be donated to @auntritas foundation here in Phoenix.

🌈 Happy Pride Month from Cheer Arizona! 🌈

This month, we celebrate love, authenticity, community, and the courage to be exactly who you are. Pride is more than a celebration—it’s a reminder that everyone deserves to be seen, valued, and supported.

We’re proud to stand alongside our LGBTQIA+ community, allies, and advocates as we continue to promote inclusion, unity, and respect both on and off the mat.

Whether you’re marching, cheering, dancing, volunteering, or simply living your truth, we’re cheering for YOU. 💜🩵🧡

Happy Pride Month, Arizona! 🌵🌈
