Every December, the AAC hosts Light Of Hope in recognition of World AIDS Day. Staff and friends of the agency purchase luminaries in honor or memory of individuals touched in some way by the HIV/AIDS crisis. The luminaries are placed around Big Springs Park in Huntsville the first Saturday in December. Last year more than 2,500 luminaries lit the park. To purchase a luminary for the 2007 Light of Hope, or to volunteer for the activity, contact 256-536-4700, x 125.
