When Elizabeth Glaser discovered that the drugs prolonging her own life were unavailable to her daughter because they had not yet been tested on children, she became the first person to champion the needs of children with HIV/AIDS before Congress and the White House.

Building on Elizabeth’s legacy, the Foundation now works with policymakers in the U.S. and around the world to continue the work Elizabeth started, advocating for the best public policies for women, children, and families with HIV/AIDS.
