ABOUT EGPAF
The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation was founded from a mother’s determination to save her children. After Elizabeth Glaser contracted HIV in a 1981 blood transfusion, she unknowingly passed the virus to her daughter, Ariel, through breast milk, and her son, Jake, in utero. At the time, there were no treatments for pediatric HIV/AIDS. Elizabeth’s efforts led to the creation of a foundation with her close friends, Susie Zeegen and Susan DeLaurentis to advance pediatric HIV/AIDS research. Together with fellow founding board members Lloyd Zeiderman and Peter Benzian, began an organization that would change the course of history for families impacted by HIV around the world. Today, EGPAF is a global leader prioritizing and supporting children and families to achieve an AIDS-free generation. Ariel passed away in 1988, but the foundation has since grown into a global leader working toward an AIDS-free generation, focusing on children and families impacted by HIV/AIDS.
