Who we Help

On April 27th, 2009, the Shooting Stars Foundation distributed our financial contributions to various community AIDS groups. A total of $100,000 was disbursed. The money went to ten AIDS organizations providing direct services to people living with HIV/AIDS, with some funds endowed for the future through the Shooting Stars Foundation Endowment Fund managed by the Vancity Community Foundation.
