ACS Makes a Splash at Mardi Gras!



The ACS outreach team made a splash at their first appearance in Buffalo's annual Mardi Gras parade. ACS and Pride Center staff, volunteers and friends donned colorful masks, feathers, capes and sparkles to spread the prevention message to Mardi Gras revelers, and by the end of the parade more than 1200 condom packets* had been distributed. The team even made the front page of the Buffalo News' local section! Great job, guys!

* condom packets include condoms and lube along with instructions for proper condom use, safer sex guidelines and information on HIV testing.
