Committee members are the face of UGA HEROs. They have a unique opportunity to become even more involved with raising money for kids in Georgia affected by HIV/AIDS.

Committee members join one of thirteen committees with people who have similar interests. As a group with an Executive Board leader, they coordinate multiple fundraising events throughout the year, promote our cause around campus and help to recruit philanthropists for the Fall semester.
