 Guests will enjoy a variety of traditional holiday classics and festive sing-a-longs under Maestro Hillyer and soloist, Michael Dynice.  Proceeds from the concert will benefit AIDS Action Committee, which provides support services to one in six people living in Massachusetts with a diagnosis of HIV. These services include prevention, outreach, and education; HIV testing; and nutritional counseling. Through its office in Lynn, AIDS Action serves thousands of people living with or impacted by HIV/AIDS in Essex County.


 “Every year Holiday Pops grows in popularity.  This year, we expect an exciting turnout to highlight the life-changing and life-saving work we do,” said Rebecca Haag, President of AIDS Action Committee. “All of us at AIDS Action Committee are grateful to Honda North for serving as the Presenting Sponsor for the 9th consecutive year.”
