Metro TeenAIDS selected charity for this year's "Black President's Day"

This year's "Black President's Day" celebration will not only honor Afrobeat creator Fela Kuti, but will also give to a worthy area cause. Metro TeenAIDS is a community health organization dedicated to supporting young people in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Through education, support, and advocacy, MTA works to prevent the spread of HIV, promote responsible decision making, and improve the quality of life for young people infected with, or affected by, HIV/AIDS. Join us for a night of music and culture and help the community at the same time.
