This year, the awards are being held on World AIDS Day to bring attention the increasing number of homeless youth being affected with HIV/AIDS daily. Currently, there is close to 2.5 million homeless people (40 percent LGBT identified) between the ages of 13-25 in America. In advocating for equality in the music industry, the organization is "creating the CHANGE we want to see" with the launch of its Sponsor A Young Person's Initiative. The Sponsor A Young Person Initiative is a series of PSA that include both mainstream and LGBT celebrities, entertainers, musicians and "real" people who work tirelessly daily to help and support homeless youth abandon by their family and love ones. The foundation will put a spotlight on the Next 20 years to celebrate and uplift the NEXT generation. Additional details and participates of the Sponsor A Young Person Initiatives will be announced later this month.
