Lifebeat's Diary

LIFEbeat's TOUR OUTREACH PROGRAM

LIFEbeat's Tour Outreach Program focuses on HIV/AIDS awareness, education and prevention. It is an invaluable vehicle for promoting awareness about HIV/AIDS to concertgoers nationwide.

At concert venues across the country, LIFEbeat volunteers and local AIDS service organizations staff tables stocked with HIV/AIDS literature, condoms, local testing information and hotline cards for distribution to concertgoers. The tables serve as a vital source of information about HIV/AIDS transmission, prevention and program services. LIFEbeat is committed to working with AIDS service providers to ensure that the most relevant information is available at these tables.

As show schedules permit, Tour Outreach tables are set up daily at concert venues in New York and Los Angeles. A strong and committed volunteer base enables table coverage and presence in these two cities with high HIV/AIDS prevalence rates.

LIFEbeat also partners with concert tours and music festivals nationwide. Some of the artists and festivals LIFEbeat has recently collaborated with include: Lilith Fair, Levi's Sno-Core Tour, H.O.R.D.E. Tour, and Rod Stewart.

LIFEbeat's Tour Outreach Program began in 1992 when Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde approached LIFEbeat with the idea of passing out condoms on tour. With the help of volunteers, this unique informative program began. Since then, LIFEbeat has supplied thousands of concertgoers at hundreds of venues nationwide with much-needed, lifesaving HIV/AIDS information.
