The NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt was founded in 1987. Today. 9 years
later, the Quilt is a powerful visual reminder of the AIDS pandemic. Almost 40,000
individual 3x6 foot memorial panels, each panel commemorating the life of someone
who has died from Ihe complications related to AIDS, have been sewn together by
friends, lovers and family members.
The NAMES Project Foundation coordinates displays of portions of Ihe Quilt
worldwide. There are 41 NAMES Project Chapters worldwide and 32 independent
Quilt initiatives from around the world. Since 1987, over 7 million people have visited
the Quilt in thousands of displays worldwide. Through such displays, the NAMES
Project Foundation has raised significant amounts of money, which has been donated
to AIDS service organizations throughout North America.
Nominated fora Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, the Quilt has become a critical symbol of
the hope for a better fulure without AIDS and the committment not to forget those who
have died of the disease.
In Houston, Ihe NAMES Project Houston was founded in Seplember 1988 and is a
501 (c)(3) non profit organizalion who is responsible for Ihe displays of the Quilt, as
well as facilitating the creation of new quilts to all of those whom want tu leave an
enduring memory of a loved one that has died of AIDS. The NAMES Project of Houston
is well deserving of Ihe honor of the Ninth Community Annual Humanitarian Award.
On behalf of the organizing committee of the Ninth Annual Houston

love Id all the members of this Organization for having been there for the ^.., iii* ■
AIDS community of Houston thoughout all these years. Congratulations for |U;.,,..■'.',
