About 800 people attended Philadelphia FIGHT’s 10th annual Prevention and Outreach Summit at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, a record high and at least 200 more than attended last year’s summit. Jeffrey Crowley, openly gay director of the Office of National AIDS Policy (pictured with Jane Shull, executive director of FIGHT), served as the keynote speaker for the event, which was the capstone of FIGHT’s 15th annual AIDS Education Month. The summit brought together HIV service providers, city representatives, community leaders and men and women living with HIV/AIDS for a series of workshops meant to raise awareness about HIV-related issues facing such communities as women, Latinos, LGBTs, youth and sex workers.
