Sunburst Projects - A ray of light in the HIV Community Sunburst Projects serves the needs of the HIV/AIDS community through compassionate care and services

In 1988, Sunburst Projects emerged out of Camp Sunburst, the first therapeutically designed summer camp program to respond to the unmet social/psychological needs of children infected with the AIDS virus in the United States. For over 30 years we have specialized in serving children and families impacted by HIV/AIDS. In 2020 we expanded to serve all individuals who are living with or affected by H

IV/AIDS including men, women, families, youth and the Sacramento HIV community as a whole. We also opened our first full service mental health clinic including providing psychiatric services. Our programs include medical case management, mental health services, social support services, child care assistance, emergency financial assistance, enrollment in ADAP (AIDS Drug Assistance Program), support groups, HIV/AIDS prevention and education, and much more.

Spotlighting Freddie Mercury for our ongoing series this year's Pride Month! Freddie Mercury was a British songwriter, lead vocalist, and pianist of the rock band Queen. He is often regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of rock music, and was known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal range! Although he was diagnosed with AIDS in 1987, he continued to record with Queen and was posthumously featured on their final album, Made in Heaven (1995). After publicly announcing his diagnosis in 1991, Mercury passed away at the age of 45. The following year, in 1992, a concert was held at Wembley Stadium in tribute to him as well as a benefit for HIV/AIDS awareness.

Shouting out Marsha P. Johnson again this year, but for Pride Month! Marsha P. Johnson’s activism was rooted in love, mutual aid, and radical care. As a black transgender woman, she is considered by many to be an important figure in the LGBTQ and transgender rights movements due to her involvement in the Stonewall Riots, her HIV/AIDS activism, and her role as one of the founders (alongside Sylvia Rivera) of Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR).

Spotlighting Keith Haring for this year's Pride Month! He was an American artist and activist whose bold, graphic imagery became a widely recognized visual language and style. Between 1982 and 1989, Haring created more than 50 public murals, many of them voluntarily for hospitals, schools, and community spaces. He was diagnosed with HIV in 1987 and later with AIDS in the autumn of 1988. He used his art and imagery during the last years of his life to speak about his illness and to generate activism and awareness about HIV/AIDS. Much of his work also addressed other ongoing political and social issues, which included anti-apartheid activism, the crack epidemic, homos*xuality, and safe s*x.
