ABOUT STAYING ALIVE

As a global grant-making organization, the Foundation�s mission is to encourage, energize, and empower young people who are involved in HIV/AIDS awareness, education and prevention campaigns.

The Foundation does this by presenting the Staying Alive Awards to young individuals and youth groups who are focused on stopping the spread of HIV and who have demonstrated the potential to become future leaders. The award comes with a financial grant to assist them in continuing and expanding their work, and provides public recognition to inspire others to get involved. The Foundation is registered as a 501-C 3 non-profit organization and ID number is 20-0957052.

For many, art serves as inspiration. And nothing’s more inspiring than fusing the worlds of art and charity into a collective force to help cultivate change. Karmaloop and MTV’s Staying Alive are joining forces to help raise awareness and funds for HIV/AIDS and help fund and empower young people around the world working on the epidemic.

As official Staying Alive Foundation Ambassador, Travis trekked the globe visiting grassroots, youth HIV and AIDS prevention projects. He might be home now, but the adventure is far from over... http://www.theunbeatentrack.com/
