Happy 2010 to everyone! 

 

We hope that this year will be especially blessed for those of you living with HIV/AIDS. We hope that you are living life to your fullest potential.  We also hope that you are keeping your new year's resolutions.

 

As for the Joshua Gomes Memorial Scholarship Fund, we intend to:

  • Award more funds for each scholarship
  • Award more scholarships than in previous years
  • Increase our Colorado AIDS Walk participants
  • Increase our Colorado AIDS Walk fundraising
  • Secure sponsorship from a major corporation

Let's make it happen!  This is going to be a great year!

 

Making a Difference since 2003

Since 2003, the Joshua Gomes Memorial Scholarship Fund has awarded a total of 39 scholarships. The majority of the funds that sponsor our recipients are raised by our small group of friends and family who participate in the Annual Colorado AIDS Walk, something the Gomes family has participated in for 21 consecutive years.

We are currently seeking contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations in order to not only keep our cause alive but to grow our scholarship to meet the increasing number of applicants each year. We have a PayPal account established for your tax-deductible donation. No gift is too small.

The Joshua Gomes Memorial Scholarship Fund

Josh Gomes was a man with a plan. He had drive. He had passion. He had hope for the future.

 

Josh also had hemophilia and AIDS.

 

When the immune disease took his life at age 21, Josh was working toward a double degree in pre-medicine and pre-law at the University of Denver. The fact that Josh was continuing his education didn't surprise those who knew him well, but it may have surprised the physicians who gave him little hope of surviving childhood.
