Recognizing 20 years of the Magic Johnson Foundation
Monday, 7 November 2011
On November 7, 1991, Magic Johnson
told the world
he’d been diagnosed with HIV and promised that “I plan on … living for a long time.” 20 years later, Magic proves that you can be an entrepreneur, talk show host, successful businessman, educator and more, living with HIV.
To show our support for all the work Magic and the
Magic Johnson Foundation
have done, we teamed up with Warner Bros. to donate a portion of the proceeds anytime you rent a movie on YouTube from the
Magic Johnson Collection
presented by WB. During the month of November 2011, proceeds from your rental will be donated to the Magic Johnson Foundation, and the collection includes Sandra Bullock’s
Blind Side
, classic inspirational movie
Chariots of Fire
, family movies like
Lean on Me
, and more coming in daily.
For more information on the Magic Johnson Foundation, its programs on
college access
,
digital literacy
, and its local centers in the US, please visit
here
. We’d also like to recognize YouTubers giving inspiration to the HIV community like
Christopher
,
Rebekkah
,
Andre
,
Ben
and
others
. To find out how you can learn more or get tested for HIV/AIDS please visit
