About Legacy Grace Project

The Grace Project (www.legacygraceproject.org) was inspired by Grace Hunt, a loving and generous woman who counseled women with HIV/AIDS. The program seeks to encourage hope and hold families together through a supportive net of services including mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment, support building, and education as women are the fastest-growing population of new HIV infections. The conference is the centerpiece of the program.

About Legacy Cares

Legacy Cares (www.legacycares.org) was founded 27 years ago by a small group of psychotherapists and people living with HIV/AIDS who needed a place to go for support in dealing with this life-changing disease. Legacy also operates Legacy Founders Cottage, a seven-bedroom house that provides

around-the-clock care for critically ill and dying AIDS patients in a home-like setting.
