Our Mission

UGA HEROs strives to improve the quality of life for the 12,000 children in Georgia affected by HIV/AIDS by raising money to support the programs offered by H.E.R.O. for Children, Inc., spreading awareness about the growing problem of pediatric AIDS, and participating in service initiatives aimed at improving the lives of affected children.

Our Vision

UGA HEROs now unites more than 2,000 college students under this mission statement. Our vision for the future is to not only continue to grow in members and donations, but also to increase awareness of our cause across the state of Georgia.

We strive to find the value in every member and to make every dollar count toward improving the quality of life of our wonderful HERO kids. Our vision is to continue impacting our campus, community, and children.

Our Strategy

UGA HEROs rallies students across campus in a year-long fundraiser that culminates in a grand finale at the HERO Olympics – an event for HERO children and UGA students.

We work closely with the IGA football team, the Athletic Association, and both Head Football Coach Mark Richt and Georgia legend Vince Dooley – both of whom are H.E.R.O. Board Members – to help rally students and raise more money for children with HIV/AIDS in Georgia.
