Awarding Elton
Monday, June 11 2007

On June 11, 2007, the National Association of Broadcaster’s Education Foundation will be bestowing its highest honor, the Leadership Award, on Elton John for the nearly $120 million he’s raised in the worldwide fight against AIDS.

Elton will be appearing at the organization’s ninth annual ‘Services to America’ gala. He launched the Elton John AIDS Foundation in the U.S. in 1992 as a response to the death of HIV-positive teenager Ryan White.

A United Kingdom branch of his charity was started in 1993, and together the two halves of the organization work in over 55 countries. Recently, the U.S. branch began a new initiative for HIV prevention in poor communities in the Southern U.S. and the Caribbean.
