Donations received on Big Day of Giving will go to support our annual Camp Sunburst Project which sends youth infected and affected with HIV to a free summer camp where they will leave all the worries of their HIV status at home and just be a kid. Our camp is a partnership with Healing Waters, a non-profit that helps those living with HIV experience the majestic white-water rapids of the American River. Campers will spend multiple days exploring the American River near Lotus, CA by raft. They will sleep in tents under the big sky and even roast marshmallows over an open campfire. Many of our campers come from inner-city homes and have never had this type of experience before. Camp Sunburst, founded in 1988 has been life-changing for the youth attending every year since.

Holiday Hits with A Splash of Sass!
2019-12-06 20:00 - 2019-12-10 20:00 | First United Methodist Church, 2100 J Street, Sacramento, CA, United States
The Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorusis proud to announce a partnership with Sunburst Projects at the KSGMC 201.9FM: Holiday Hits with A Splash of Sass! holiday concert. The mission of Sunburst Projects is to keep families together by providing services that strengthen and empower individuals, families, and communities to ensure youth living with HIV/AIDS reach their
highest potential. Sunburst Projects addresses health care disparities, fights AIDS stigma, and advocates for comprehensive HIV/AIDS services that address the social-psychological needs of youth and families.
James Dahlen, President of the Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus, explains, “As with many like-organizations at the time, the Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus was founded during the AIDS Crisis as a way to provide community and support to those affected by AIDS and those around them. SGMC continues to advocate for
positive change and social justice on a variety of issues in the LGBTQ+ community. We completely understand that we have made strides in both social justice for LGBTQ+ individuals and those affected by AIDS and HIV, but there is more work to do. The mission of Sunburst Projects aligns perfectly with SGMC’s continued mission which is to raise awareness for causes we care about through entertainment and outreach.”
“Sunburst Projects is thrilled to partner with the Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus for their Holiday Hits Show. Both of our organizations began in the early 1980s and for over 35 years we have shared important core values of fighting stigma and supporting and enriching the lives of families and individuals in our
community,” said Diana Pretzlaff, Sunburst Projects Director of Development.
Through this partnership, the Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus will provide support to Sunburst Projects with cross-promotion in social media, an information table and from-the-stage presentations by a Sunburst Projects board member at each show, plus a donation to help support Sunburst Projects programs.
