The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) was thrilled to celebrate its 30^th annual A Time for Heroes family festival with over 400 supporters, celebrity heroes, and friends on Sunday, October 27^th at Smashbox Studios in Los Angeles.

Kids and families enjoyed a variety of activities, such as playing in the DogPound’s obstacle course, drawing their favorite characters with Nickelodeon animators, and getting glamed with SuperHero Face Painting by Cinema Makeup School! The day was capped off with an upbeat performance by lovelytheband.

This year, we were thrilled to honor our co-founders Susie Zeegen and Susan DeLaurentis.  Together with Elizabeth Glaser, these incredible women started the first research and advocacy efforts for children with AIDS, determined to save Elizabeth’s son Jake. Thanks to their work Jake is a healthy and thriving adult, and they have built an incredible legacy that has helped millions of mothers, children and families around the world to live longer, healthier lives.

We were also excited to welcome ViiV Healthcare as this year’s title sponsor and special honoree.  ViiV Healthcare, currently celebrating its 10-year anniversary, has been a steadfast partner in bringing new medicines to the communities most impacted by HIV, and they have been a generous supporter of EGPAF since their inception.
