Rebuild Foundation, an arts, education and cultural development organization committed to transforming urban communities, announced that it will launch a year of programming dedicated to supporting the AIDS fight with the $500,000 it received from the 2018 (RED) Auction. This year, Rebuild Foundation will partner with local advocacy organizations across Chicago to raise awareness, provide resources and sanctuary for marginalized communities impacted by the HIV/AIDS crisis through a series of discussions, community reflections, workshops and additional programming. On January 19, 2020, what would have been the prolific Chicago House DJ Frankie Knuckles’ 65th birthday, Rebuild Foundation will kick off its year of HIV/AIDS programming in partnership with About Face Theater, the Center on Halsted, Chicago Dancemakers Forum, the Chicago Women’s AIDS project, DJ Duane Powell, and the Frankie Knuckles Foundation.
