The Richmond/Ermet AIDS Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization established to raise funds for AIDS service provider agencies through the production of quality entertainment events.

REAF was born from the grass-roots efforts of two mothers, Barbara Richmond and Peggy Ermet,
who lost their only sons to AIDS as a way to honor their sons' memories and to help alleviate the
suffering of many of the other sons and daughters living with HIV and AIDS. The Foundation has
become one of the leading sources of funding for many local AIDS service providers.

100% of our profits are donated to various AIDS agencies including our 2007 beneficiaries.
REAF
receives no government funding and relies wholly on corporate and individual support.
We need your help to cover the cost of our own operations so that we can continue to support
the many agencies who provide life-sustaining services to thousands of men, women and children
throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.


GOAL FOR 2008: $100,000

REAF has distributed well over $2,000,000 to over 30 different AIDS agencies over the past 13 years.

Some of the funds provided by REAF in various years have:

Provided over 6,600 home delivered meals to clients of Meals of Marin 3 years in a row

Provided over 600 hours of counseling and/or drug testing for the clients of UCSF AIDS Health Project

Provided hundreds of hours of nursing care to the children receiving care in the
Pediatric AIDS/HIV Program at Children’s Hospital.

Provided approximately 500 professional therapy sessions to persons with HIV in
New Leaf's substance abuse, mental health, HIV mental and elders programs.

Provided 300 hours of treatment case management to Asian and Pacific Islander
immigrants and refugees at the A&PI Wellness Center.

Built a new kitchen for The Center for AIDS Services in Oakland and, in a time of
critical funding shortage, kept them from having to close their doors to clients entirely

Allowed The Center to continue to provide two hot meals per day and access to the
other services they provide to hundreds of HIV+ clients.

Helped BAY Positives maintain a safe place for HIV+ youth
to gather for emotional support and resource counseling

Funding from REAF assisted the Positive Resource Center in maintaining
a 90% success rate in disability claims filed for clients with HIV/AIDS and
severe mental health conditions and helped achieve 435 job placements for HIV+ clients.
