The Names Project is an organization dedicated to commemorating individuals who have died from AIDS. It is best known for the AIDS Memorial Quilt, a large-scale quilt made up of panels created by friends and family members to honor their loved ones. Each panel serves as a personal tribute, showcasing the creativity and love of those left behind. Founded in 1987, the Names Project aims to raise awareness about the impact of the AIDS epidemic and to promote education about HIV prevention. The quilt has traveled across the United States and around the world, serving as a powerful visual representation of the lives lost and the ongoing fight against the disease.
