Option 2 - Separately Produced Event
| Please describe you proposed event: |
Being Alive outreach booth, Being Alive syringe servicing program booth, and AHF WeHo are partnering to create a fun and informational harm reduction WeHo Pride event including SSP, sexual harm reduction, promotion of PrEP/PEP/condoms/lube, and onsite HIV testing provided by AHF. We would like funding to secure additional applicable give-away items in addition to securing a food truck to entice folx to participate in testing and educational outreach opportunities. Being Alive and AHF have partnered in this space before for other events with great success. This spot is also currently Being Alive's SSP location every Saturday. If possible, we would like a hybrid option of listing this event as a WeHo designated footprint space to further build upon educational outreach and testing opportunities to reduce risk and harm in the community during the seasonal Pride events.

Yes
|
Supplemental Funding
| Please describe how you would use the supplemental funding for your event/activation: |
