The Bare Chest Calendar has supported the AIDS Emergency Fund (now a program of PRC) pretty much since Day 1 and we will continue to do so as long as our assistance is needed.
Current Beneficiaries:
PRC (formerly Positive Resource Center) has been transforming the Bay Area for decades, helping those affected by HIV/AIDS, substance use, or mental health issues realize their best selves by providing the support and services they need to reclaim their lives.
Services include emergency financial assistance for short-term security; legal representation for access to basic income and healthcare benefits; and residential treatment, supportive housing, and employment training for longer-term social rehabilitation.
Having recently merged with the AIDS Emergency Fund and Baker Places, Inc., PRC’s newly interconnected services help over 5,000 clients per year on their path toward long-term stability and success.
Rainbow Community Center of Contra Costa County envisions a society that embraces acceptance, safety and equality for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. The RCC builds community among LGBTQIA+ persons and their allies through social opportunities, health and wellness services, and awareness programs. At RCC, all our services are offered free of charge, so being a beneficiary of Bare Chest Calendar enables us to continue our life-saving work.
