50-State Project
In Georgia, there was a Recovery Bus Tour in September and impacted at least 1 million Georgians. That is about 10% of the State’s population.
This project has 3 sprinter vans, wrapped with recovery and sponsor messaging, traveling to all 50 states, to host rallies and meetings to build coalitions, and speak with state and local governments to unite our community, raise awareness, and save lives. Our expected impact is 100 million Americans. That is about 30% of America’s population.
- For every $68 donated, AARA is able to raise awareness, defeat stigma, build coalitions, and continue our messaging and project work for 1 American and their family in every state.
- For every $9000 donated, AARA is able to keep a sprinter van on the road for a month. Traveling to multiple states with our messaging and sponsors wrapped around us.
- For every $25,000 donated, AARA is able to work the Halls of Congress and help pass life-saving legislation for 6 months.
Purple Project
Working with manufacturers, communities, and sponsors, we will outfit football players in purple. There are approximately 4 million football players and coaches at the high school, college, and NFL levels combined.
Raising awareness so this disease is no longer whispered about as cancer was in the 1950s and HIV/AIDS in the 1980s.
Helping to educate people about this disease, talking openly about prevention, treatment, and recovery, and saving lives across America.
