In honor of World AIDS Day 2020, we recognize 3 people important to GDMAF’s life with their panels on the National AIDS Memorial Quilt.

Greg Dollgener, John Francis Busenbarrick and Ryan Barrows.

We invite you to visit our World AIDS Day 2020 event page to view these panels and learn a little about each one.

We also encourage you to make a donation to GDMAF in honor of one of these great individuals.

The Greg Dollgener Memorial AIDS Fund, lost a long time support and dear friend on October 8,2020.  Dona Miller was one of GDMAF’s first supporters when we started  the organization in 1996 and was there with David Hearn when Greg Dollgener passed in 1994.  She was a strong business woman who owned Vogue International and partners in Patina V where David and Greg met her when David worked at JCPenney in 1989.  (more…)
