The first ever calendar, dedicated to raising hepatitis B awareness is launching in time for the holidays on Wednesday, December 15 at The Artists Alley in San Francisco.
The 2011 Hep B Free calendar titled “Hep B can affect any one of us…” features 13 striking Asian Americans from the Bay Area, each of whom are carriers, survivors, people with family or friends who have had Hep B, or those who are actively involved in helping to raise awareness of the disease. Both profound captions and poignant personal quotes fill the pages of each month’s spread, in addition to alarming statistics of the effects of the disease and its prevalence among the Asian Pacific Islander community.
“The calendar is outstanding because it shows the relevance of Hep B in everybody’s lives, and that it can affect anyone,” said Ronald Wong, President of Imprenta Communications Group, Inc., who volunteered his time and resources for the creative design of the calendar.
The AsianWeek Foundation and San Francisco Hep B Free produced the calendar, which was shot by L.A. – based photographer Shane Sato. Jennifer Toy provided makeup while hair was styled by Ethel O’Yang of E The Look.
Calendars cost $10 each, plus $3 for shipping and handling and can be purchased online at sfhepbfree.org/calendar/ or in-person at the AsianWeek Foundation office located at 564 Market Street, Suite 320, San Francisco (Mon. through Fri., from 9 am to 5 pm). All proceeds will go towards ending hepatitis B disease and liver cancer. For more information about the calendars, call Carrolyn Kubota at (415) 373-4003.
