Friends for Life

Since 1991, Action Wellness has shown our appreciation for individuals who, through their work, vision, and philanthropy have made a real difference in the lives of people living with HIV and other chronic illnesses. We recognize them by giving them our highest honor: the Friend for Life Award.

Our Friends for Life embody our mission that no one should face HIV or chronic illness alone. They have given Action Wellness a significant amount of additional resources, whether through a financial donation, a gift of time, or a gift of talent. These extraordinary individuals change the world we live in for the better, and we could not be more grateful for them.
