30 Years of Changing the Facts
ANNUAL REPORT
2013-2014 FISCAL YEAR

2. Thirty years ago, the largest group of Nashville CARES
volunteers were called “buddies.” They provided comfort and
companionship to those dying of AIDS. Three decades later,
one of our fastest growing groups of volunteers are “wellness
advocates.” TheyhelppeoplelivingwithHIVcreateplanstomeet
basic needs, manage their HIV care and treatment successfully,
and live long and healthy lives.
This is how the work of Nashville CARES has changed since
it was founded in 1985. Dramatic advances in HIV prevention
and treatment have provided us with the tools to achieve the
vision of our founders−an end to AIDS in Middle Tennessee.
Many challenges to realizing this goal remain, so reaching it will
be neither easy nor automatic, but the opportunity is undeniable.
And it is transforming in fundamental ways the “why’s” and
“how’s” of our work.
To guide us into 2014, the board adopted a new five-
year strategic plan with some ambitious, community-
focused goals: to reduce by half the number of new
infections occurring in Middle Tennessee, and to
double the number of people already infected
who reap the benefits of advances in treatment.
Since adoption of the plan, CARES board, staff
and volunteers have been busy restructuring and
refining agency operations to meet these goals.
But if our work has changed, it has not diminished.
Last year, Nashville CARES continued to offer a full range
of prevention, testing, and supportive services to 60,000 men
and women at risk for or living with HIV infection throughout the
seventeen counties of northern Middle Tennessee. In this, we
remain true to the legacy of CARES’ founders.
This report highlights some (but by no means all) of the
milestones that have brought CARES to this important juncture in
our history. They remind us how blessed CARES has been by the
support of our community. To all of them, and to you, our current
volunteers, donors and partners, I offer our sincere thanks.
Joseph Interrante, Ph.D.
Chief Executive Officer
Dramatic advances in prevention and treatment related to HIV/AIDS have provided us with the tools
to end the AIDS epidemic in Middle Tennessee, our state and nation. Most important, research in the
past two years has shown that in addition to helping people with HIV live longer and healthier lives, anti-
retroviral HIV treatment that produces an undetectable viral load can reduce HIV transmission nearly to
zero. Combined with proven prevention strategies for HIV-negative people at high risk for infection, we
can begin to reverse the epidemic and produce the conditions for an AIDS-free generation.
For 30 years, Nashville CARES has pursued this vision, elaborating the strategies needed to end HIV/
AIDS. Our experience has shown us that we cannot simply treat our way out of this epidemic; advances
in clinical care must be married to community-based support so that the promises of HIV treatment are
available to all those most vulnerable to HIV infection regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, or sexual
orientation. It also requires us to help those no longer dying from AIDS optimize their health and (re)build
productive lives by managing their medical and treatment needs successfully without interference from
basic survival concerns.
This plan lays out the path toward realization of this vision of an AIDS-free generation. It
is the culmination of almost eighteen months of dialogue and thought about why and how
CARES does its work. It is both a product of and agent for a new culture of service at
Nashville CARES that seeks to change the paradigm for our community response to
HIV/AIDS in Middle Tennessee.
Mission: Our mission is to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Middle Tennessee. We
work to achieve this through education, advocacy and support for those at risk for
or living with HIV.
Impact: By 2020, the number of HIV infections reported annually for the
Nashville metro service area will be reduced by 50% (from 200 to 100) and
the agency’s average client community viral load will be decreased by 60% (from
13,300 to 5,300).
Goal I – Reduce New Infections: Reduce by half the number of new HIV infections in Nashville
MSA by 2020 through comprehensive, effective and targeted prevention efforts.
Goal II – Improve Health Outcomes: Increase by 75% the number of people in agency care
who consistently achieve optimal viral load suppression regardless of race, ethnicity, gender,
age, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status.
Goal III – Increase Awareness and Support: Increase awareness among key audiences
about HIV/AIDS and active support for CARES’ efforts to lower infections and improve health
outcomes.
Goal IV – Sustain Our Impact: Increase and diversify the financial resources required to
support current operations and new initiatives.
Goal V – Strengthen Organizational Capacity: Fully engage staff, volunteers and board, and
ensure that operational resources are adequate to achieve strategic outcomes.

3. Nashville CARES founded by a
group of men and women who
came together to discuss AIDS in
the gay community
A courageous group of volunteers came together
in 1985 to fight a disease that was killing their friends
and family. That little-known disease was AIDS. They
called their effort “Nashville CARES” to represent a
compassionate community where no one would face the
challenges of HIV and AIDS alone. The first meetings
were held at the Life Styles Health Clinic on Church
Street and were spearheaded by a passionate educator
named Tommy Powell.
“Tommy was the reason I got involved, he was our
guiding light,” said Rick Murphy, an early board member.
The small board employed one part-time Executive
Director and started operating out of the Metropolitan
Community Church. Without sufficient funding, the
organization depended on fundraisers held at Warehouse
28, a gay bar owned by board member Steve Smith.
“Some days the amount of work and lack of funding
were a bit overwhelming. It was all-hands-on-deck and
we relied mostly on volunteers.”
One of those volunteers was Iris Buhl, who started
answering phones (among other things) for CARES in
1987. The organization moved to Craighead Avenue and
operated full-time with a staff of two. In those days, Buhl
says it was a great place for staff, volunteers and clients
to spend time together.
“People living with AIDS were looking for a place
where they could relax and not be guarded. Nashville
CARES was that place,” said Buhl.

First Artrageous
John Bridges wanted to fight AIDS in Middle
Tennessee; that’s when he got the idea for
Artrageous. The Nashville CARES supporter
asked about a half dozen Nashville art galleries
if they would come together for one big gallery
opening. Guests would hop from gallery to
gallery and ticket sales benefitted CARES.
Without hesitation, each gallery said yes.
The first Artrageous took place in 1986. To
Bridges’ surprise, about 1,000 people showed
up and the event made $10,000.
“People loved it,” said Bridges. “They had
never been to anything like it.”
Over its 25 year run, Artrageous established itself as one of the most anticipated
community events of the year and raised more than $3 million for Nashville CARES.
“Not only did Artrageous do tremendous things for CARES, but it did remarkable things
for the city.”
Artrageous helped bring public attention to HIV/AIDS in Middle Tennessee. The unique art
crawl also unified the LGBT community and revitalized the Nashville art scene.
“There is hardly anything else in my life that I am prouder of,” said Bridges.

First Nashville
AIDS Walk
In the 1980s, Victoria Harris’s friends were dying.
She wanted to do something about it. That’s when she,
along with other volunteers, had an idea for a fundraiser
called the Nashville AIDS Walk.
“We got the idea from San Francisco,” said Harris.
“We weren’t the first to do it, but we were the first to do
it around here.”
Harris and a dedicated group of volunteers put on
the first three Nashville AIDS Walk events. Each walk
took place at Vanderbilt University, had about 500
participants and raised roughly $25,000 to fight AIDS
in Middle Tennessee.
“Gary Morris was our first celebrity chair; Minnie
Pearl came and spoke the second year. This was back
when people would donate money but wouldn’t let us
use their name because of stigma,” said Harris.
Although it rained “like cats and dogs” the first year,
the Nashville AIDS Walk quickly grew into a popular
event. After three years, the small team of volunteers
turned the event over to Nashville CARES to spearhead.
Twenty-two years later, the walk is still going strong.
Last year, more than 2,000 walkers and runners raised
more than $230,000.
Harris spent her career fighting the epidemic as
an HIV Research Coordinator and as the Director of
Education at the Comprehensive Care Center. She is
still one of the Nashville AIDS Walk’s largest fundraisers
and participates every year.
“Fighting HIV is my passion. It’s my life.”

5. A Night in White:
Annual Gala for
Nashville CARES
kicks off
Dining Out For Life
started in Nashville
Dining Out For Life (DOFL) has raised more than $1 million since its start
in 2003. Founding DOFL member, Wonnie Short, isn’t surprised. He knew it
would be successful from the start.
“I saw it happening in other cities and I knew Nashville had to get involved.
It’s the easiest thing in the world do to. Just invite your friends to dinner and make
money for Nashville CARES.”
The first year, about 20 restaurants signed on. Now, the third Tuesday in April
boasts more than 70 popular eateries, including nine originals from the first year.
Around 9,000 diners eat out in celebration of the event, while the restaurants
donate a portion of their sales back to CARES. It’s a great
community event that not only raises money, but starts a community
conversation about HIV/AIDS.
“Nashville really embraced it. It’s the perfect
event for our progressive, cosmopolitan city.”

One of the things that I am most proud
of is that Brothers United is one of the
few educational programs and volunteer
based organizations that is still doing great
work in the African American Gay/Same
Gender Loving community. In 2016, we will
celebrate 20 years of on-going grassroots
efforts that were truly built around the
needs, suggestions and desires of the
community.
Fourteen years ago, we started Young
Brothers United to cater to the younger gay
African American population. It is important
that we empower a new generation on HIV
education and prevention.
The legacy of Brothers United and
Young Brothers United is entwined with
many different stories, not only from
those of us who have been around since
the beginning, but also the people who
have helped shape so many memorable
moments during our local, regional, national
and international efforts. Just knowing that
many organizations have come and gone
for whatever reason, and that
we are still pushing forward is
something that I am so humbled
by and proud of. – Dwayne
Jenkins, Prevention Education

6. CARES purchases Brick

Healthy U formed for HIV+
men and women
Early Intervention
Services started
Healthy University (Healthy U) was formed in 2005
to help men and women living with HIV get educated
about their disease, develop healthy life skills and
create healthy bonds with others. Healthy U offers a
diverse package of programs and support services
that help clients navigate life with HIV.
“Healthy U groups remind me that I am not alone,”
said Chip, a CARES client. “It’s been a life saver.”
In 2014, Healthy U opened the CARES Café. The
Café is a safe place for clients to come hang out, talk
with peers, grab a snack and use the computer. It’s
where clients like Chip feel at home.
“I feel needed and wanted here. I always tell them,
‘I’m not going to stop coming till they make me.’”
Healthy U groups and activities are dedicated to
helping people living with HIV make the most out of
positive living.
“I know that I have to get up every day and take my
meds because I am here for a purpose. Things happen
for a reason, and maybe this happened to me so I can
help someone else through it.”
Stephen was shocked when
he was diagnosed with HIV. His
knowledge of the disease was
basic and he wasn’t sure where to
turn. That’s when he was referred
to Nashville CARES and the Early
Intervention Services (EIS) program.
EIS launched in 2007 as a means of
helping people newly diagnosed, or
lost to care, successfully engage in
HIV care.
“Coming to CARES put my mind
at ease, and made the transition into
treatment really easy.” said Stephen.
“My case manager answered all of
my questions about HIV and helped
me make a game plan for care.”
EIS case managers address
HIV health literacy, assist in setting
a short term plan to stabilize health,
link clients to medical care and
remain engaged in HIV primary care
over time. Wherever someone is
within their diagnosis, CARES EIS is
ready to support their success.
“Coming to CARES changed
my life. I am so thankful CARES is
here because I would be totally lost
without this team and their support.”
Since its founding by a group of concerned citizens in 1985,
Nashville CARES has given a voice to people living with or affected by
HIV, both in the development of CARES programs and in advocating
for public policy to address needs for prevention, care and support.
This commitment led Nashville CARES to be one of the first southern
members of the AIDS Action Council of Washington D.C., and, in 2007,
to create the Tennessee AIDS Advocacy Network (TAAN).
In 2008, Nashville CARES expanded the network, with funding
from the National AIDS Fund, into a statewide non-partisan coalition
working to improve awareness about HIV/AIDS among the public and
policymakers. Since that time, TAAN has worked on numerous issues
which impact the fight against HIV/AIDS in Tennessee, including health
care reform, Medicaid expansion, comprehensive sex education, and
HIV criminalization.
As a result of close partnerships with organizations both within and
beyond the HIV community, TAAN has expanded its membership and
influence both at the state capitol and in the community. In March of
2014, TAAN hosted its first large scale HIV/AIDS Awareness Day on
the Hill, bringing together nearly 50 advocates from across Tennessee
to talk with lawmakers about the importance of continued HIV funding
for programs.
TAAN’s work would not be possible without the support and
participation of TAAN members and partner organizations from across
the state that give of their time, and share their experiences. Holding
true to Nashville CARES’ commitment to community engagement,
TAAN will continue to work to address barriers to ending the AIDS
epidemic in our state. – Aaron Campbell, Director of Public Policy,

Avant Garde is Nashville CARES’ signature fundraising gala, and it’s one of my favorite events every year. As a chair for the annual
event, I love to come up with something fun, creative and unique that gets people excited. Each year, we try to come up with a different
theme like; Mad Hatters Ball, Masquerade, Under the Big Top and Around the World. It’s a blast to see how the galas come together!
Everyone is decked out in theme.
This event is Nashville CARES’ opportunity to introduce new crowds to the agency. Everyone loves a party for a great cause!
Avant Garde is a great night to have people come out, do something different and raise money to fight HIV/AIDS in Middle Tennessee.
Every year the party gets bigger and better. I’m excited to see what we come up with in the years to come! – Connie Ford, Avant
