Summer weather has arrived in Illinois! To celebrate, here’s a favorite drawing called “Picture of Summer” that was created a few years ago by Darren, one of the sons of our senior perinatal data manager Iyesha. It’s a tropical-themed tour de force, complete with coconuts, seashells, and a dancing crab! 🥥 🐚 🦀

Our exec director Anne Statton’s birthday 🎈is coming up on June 10 — and there’s still time to help us celebrate by chipping in to her fundraiser for this year’s . Anne will once again be swimming, biking, and running as part of TEAM TO END AIDS (T2 CHICAGO) to raise funds for MACA.

Donations to this fundraiser will not just help make Anne’s birthday brighter, but also brighten the lives of the moms and families that MACA supports. Your gift will help us connect MACA moms with expert care and much-needed resources, while protecting newborns across Illinois from HIV and preventable perinatal infections.

Anne is already training hard for this year’s Triathlon! Here are a few pics of Anne from previous years’ events and training.

As part of the campaign, there will be a candlelight vigil at the Keith Haring Statue in the Chicago AIDS Garden. The event will take place this Friday, June 5, from 7:30 pm to sunset.

This is a nonpartisan community gathering for all who are concerned about the impact of the recent federal healthcare cuts on our neighbors, families, and loved ones.

From every corner of the country, communities will gather at sunset to honor the lives already lost and the millions more at risk if funding isn’t restored.

June 5 also marks 45 years since the first reported cases of what became known as AIDS, a reminder of what happens when government fails to act.

We’re supporting the Seven Days in June campaign — a national call to elevate health as a governing priority, with events taking place June 1–7.

Last year, Congress passed $1 trillion in healthcare cuts — with the most severe human and economic impact happening later this year. These cuts will have a disproportionate effect on people with HIV, among other vulnerable groups.

By the numbers: $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts =

• 15 million people losing coverage.
• 446 hospitals at risk of closing.
• 51,000 preventable deaths every year.

It’s simple: We all need convenient, affordable, high-quality healthcare. This isn’t a partisan issue — it’s our primary concern. $1 trillion in healthcare cuts will hurt.

Let Congress know how you feel. Stand with us and fight back.

The theme for this year’s is “More Good Days, Together.” The goal is to help people have more good days by meeting them where they are, supporting them as whole people, and understanding that “good” is subjective.

This approach encourages us all to reflect on what a “good” day looks like, both for ourselves and for our communities. Together, we can use that insight to connect people to the right support at the right time, and shape advocacy, education, and community engagement to make more good days possible for all.

Only you can define what a “good day” looks like to you. But you don’t have to carry the weight of “not-so-good” days alone. When we look out for one another, more good days become possible for all of us.

This past Saturday, our exec director Anne Statton participated in the 2026 event, in honor of Memorial Day and in support of health care for veterans. This annual race offers both a 10K and a 10-mile course that finish at Soldier Field. Anne and her nephew Patrick both ran the 10K this year.

This was the 22nd annual Soldier Field 10 run. The event raises funds for The Road Home Program at Rush — which provides veterans of all eras, active-duty service members, and their families with mental and behavioral health care regardless of their discharge status or ability to pay.

Psst! Our exec director Anne Statton has a birthday coming up in early June, and if you’d like to help grant her #1 b-day wish, you can chip in to her fundraiser for this year’s . Anne will once again be participating as part of TEAM TO END AIDS (T2 CHICAGO) to raise funds for MACA.

Here are a couple of pics of Anne with her T2 teammates from last year, as well as a super-duper early photo taken at 4 am before the start of the event!

Anne writes: “I'm fundraising to change the story of women with HIV in our neighborhoods and our nation. Will you support my efforts and join this movement?

“I chose to train, race, and fundraise to support Mother and Child Alliance so that pregnant people with HIV can get the support that they need for healthy pregnancies and have babies born free of HIV.

“Did you know that we can almost 100% prevent transmission to infants? However, the support needed for pregnant people to know their HIV status, get to undetectable, have a healthy pregnancy with support, and deliver a baby born free of HIV, is substantial.

“Please help us help connect pregnant people with testing, connect pregnant people with HIV to expert care, and provide the necessary supports to new mothers for the early care needed to help make sure babies stay free of HIV.”
