Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation (EGPAF)

In 1981, Elizabeth Glaser was infected with the AIDS virus through a blood transfusion, and unknowingly passed it on to both of her children. The Glaser family's tragedy inspired the creation of the Pediatric AIDS Foundation in 1988. Since then, they have been at the forefront of the fight against pediatric HIV/AIDS, making remarkable strides in their struggle against an illness that has ravaged the globe.

What three mothers began around a kitchen table in 1988 is now the leading global nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing pediatric HIV infection and eradicating pediatric AIDS through research, advocacy, and prevention and treatment programs.
