Black AIDS Institute Announces First Team to Move to the Nationals

Congratulations to the Trump AIDS Atlanta Winners Charles Walters and Ray Harris

The Black AIDS Institute announces local Georgia residents Charles Walters and Ray Harris as the first champions to move on to the Trump AIDS National Tournament in Las Vegas November 2010.

Approximately 50 bid whist players, from local Georgia attendees all the way to New Jersey, turned up to play in the first Trump AIDS Tournament and Health Fair in Atlanta, GA over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend.

Several Tournament players and their guests visited the onsite Health Fair, which included local health organizations Sister Love and AID Atlanta, throughout the day to get tested for HIV and Diabetes and to take advantage of free health education and information.

Atlanta Trump AIDS media sponsors the Atlanta Inquirer, the Atlanta Daily World and Rolling Out magazine, Tournament players, their friends and families all participated in an overview on the state of AIDS in Black America and why it’s important to be educated and involved. Black AIDS Institute CEO and Founder Phill Wilson shared with the group how Trump AIDS can help bring awareness to the Black community.

“The Black AIDS Institute has spent the last decade meeting Black folks where they are,” says Wilson. “Trump AIDS is a perfect example of identifying an indigenous pastime in our community and using it to deliver culturally effective messaging. Everything about this effort, from the date and city where we launch the campaign to celebrity co-chairs—Danny Glover and Jackée Harry—celebrate the Black experience.”
