The Bobby Goldsmith Foundation officially launched its 25th anniversary celebrations on Wednesday 11 February at the Powerhouse Museum.
In a cocktail event hosted by media personality Ita Buttrose and attended by over 200 guests, keynote speaker The Hon. Michael Kirby, Patron of both the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation and the Australian Memorial AIDS Quilt, reflected on the crucial role BGF has played in supporting people living with HIV over the last 25 years and on the important legacy of Australian AIDS Memorial Quilt as a poignant and symbolic reminder of the people who have died of AIDS.
Fergus Kibble, President of the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation, spoke about the historical legacy of the organisation and how our services have evolved to meet our clients’ changing needs over the last 25 years while Dr Dawn Casey, Director of the Powerhouse Museum, spoke about the role of the Museum as the custodian of the Australian AIDS Memorial Quilt.
