Help Ryan raise money

Every year I raise funds for ACAS, a local community organization focused on HIV Prevention and sexual health education of the East & Southeast Asian community, including LGBTQ and those living with HIV/AIDS. I fundraise every year because I want to see ACAS continue making the same positive impact on the Asian LGBTQ community as it has on me. Please help me reach my goal to support one of the few Asian LGBTQ programs and spaces in Toronto. Any donation, big or small, would be greatly appreciated!

COVID-19 has affected community organizations like ACAS (Asian Community AIDS Services) especially hard. Our major fundraiser had to be cancelled in March and on top of that core funding for gay men's programming was not approved for the next 3 years. We have since been trying to make up the loss and hustling like a boss.

If you can spare a few dollars, donating through the Scotiabank Charity Challenge is one of the easiest ways to help ACAS at this time. 100% of the funds will go directly to ACAS and you will automatically receive a tax receipt. The raised funds will help maintain ACAS services and programs for East & Southeast Asian people living with HIV and the LGBTQ community. 

The programs and services that currently need support include:

+ An emergency fund for East/Southeast Asian people living with HIV

+ Sexual health workshops for Asian gay, bisexual, queer cisgender and transgender men

+ Peer support group for Asian trans men and transmasculine folks

+ A harm reduction support group for Asian gay men who use drugs
