About LIFEbeat:
LIFEbeat is the music industry’s charitable organization dedicated to reaching America’s youth with the message of HIV/AIDS prevention. For nearly 15 years the organization has helped to mobilize the talents and resources of the music industry to raise awareness and funds and to provide support for the HIV/AIDS community.
In 1992 the music industry had not yet addressed the AIDS crisis with a unified voice although many of its members had succumbed to the disease. Bob Caviano, a respected music manager, wrote an editorial in Billboard magazine disclosing his illness and challenged the industry to take action. A number of high-level executives heeded his call and formed LIFEbeat, The Music Industry Fights AIDS.
Trends reveal that adolescents and young adults are at particularly high risk of contracting HIV. Every hour of every day two young people between the ages of 13 and 24 are infected. Over the years LIFEbeat has emerged as a leading advocate for prevention efforts directed at youth. Recognizing that music plays a significant role in the lives of young people, LIFEbeat carved out a unique niche by effectively using the power of music to reach this population. LIFEbeat strives to cultivate a strong sense of self-worth and self-respect in youth to help them resist negative influences that may lead to engagement in risky behaviors.
AIDS does not discriminate. No gender, no race, no sexual preference has been free from its reach. We believe that the strongest and most powerful weapon against HIV/AIDS is education and awareness. Through programs like Tour Outreach and the Public Service Campaign, and with the support of the music industry, LIFEbeat strives to keep young people informed about the myths and realities surrounding HIV/AIDS so they are equipped with the tools they need to make intelligent decisions at crucial moments.
