The Foundation honored Governor Andrew Cuomo for all of his extraordinary contributions to the fight against AIDS, especially his plan to end AIDS in New York State by 2020, and for his tremendous leadership in bringing marriage equality to New York.

Atlanta real estate developer Charlie Hendon has been a devoted friend and generous supporter of Elton Johns AIDS Foundation's work for many years.

Jay Jopling, proprietor of the prominent gallery White Cube and a loyal EJAF supporter and advocate, has assisted the Foundation on numerous occasions by securing significant pieces of art for live auctions and art projects, helping to raise millions of dollars over the years for the Foundations urgent mission.
