40 Years of Being Alive
In 1986, four friends (John Mohr, Ron Rose, Scott Barry, and Rick Ewing) saw a community in crisis and refused to look away. People living with HIV needed care, and they needed it "now"- free of red tape, free of judgment, and free of cost. They built it themselves and called it Being Alive.
40 Years later, Being Alive continues to provide life-changing wellness services that treat people like people, not statistics. From our groundbreaking harm reduction center to our accessible mental health program and our pottery studio, which has been with us since the beginning, Being Alive doesn't just help people survive; it helps them thrive.
Join us on Saturday, September 12th, 2026, at the Los Angeles Athletic Club for 40 Years of Being Alive: an intimate afternoon of community, reflection, and genuine celebration, up close, personal, and deeply meaningful.
