The Hyacinth AIDS Foundation, New Jersey’s first and largest AIDS services organization, held its 25th Anniversary Gala and Silent Auction on November 13, 2010 in New Jersey.  The foundation also too the time to recognize three local individuals for their tireless work and astounding contributions to the community: Congressman Frank Pallone, Douglas Michels, CEO or OraSure Technologies, and Laurence E. Ganges, assistant commissioner of the division of HIV and AIDS services in the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services.  The event raised over $100,000 to continue the fight against HIV and AIDS.
