Our Logo

In 1988, Ariel Glaser painted how she envisioned the world — as a beautiful garden kept bright with sunshine and surrounded by love. Her inspiration serves as the Foundation's logo, representing hope for children everywhere.

Foundation History
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, we have been at the forefront of the fight against pediatric HIV/AIDS, making remarkable strides in our struggle against an illness that has ravaged the globe. 

Our Work
Whether we're working to attract top researchers to the field of pediatric AIDS, creating programs that provide a full continuum of care in developing countries, or collaborating to accelerate clinical discoveries, our programs offer hope for all children and families living with HIV/AIDS.

Foundation Timeline
Building on the firm conviction that every child deserves a lifetime, the Foundation has expanded dramatically — from three mothers around a kitchen table to a truly global organization with programs in 17 countries.

Stories of Hope
The medical advancements the Foundation has funded and supported through the years have created an irrepressible new emotion for those infected with HIV/AIDS: Hope. Learn about the various ways HIV/AIDS influences daily life from firsthand accounts written by friends of the Foundation.
