Hip Hop for Philly Featuring Wale (During AIDS Education Month)

Philadelphia FIGHT and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia present the “Hip Hop for Philly” free concert featuring Grammy nominated and chart-topping hip hop artist Wale, plus Chill Moody, ARSIN and DJNiiLO.

Hip Hop for Philly’s goals are to provide youth with inspiring role models, encourage them to know their HIV status, and educate themselves and their community about safe and healthy behavior. In the project’s first year, more than 1,200 youth received HIV tests. Concert tickets are non-transferable, limited to one person, and available only while supplies last. 

Hip Hop for Philly on National HIV Testing Day is part of the 20th anniversary of AIDS Education Month, a series of events, conferences and workshops held annually in June to increase AIDS awareness and exchange the most up-to-date, advanced HIV information.
