The Global Health Council provides all registered communities with the framework to effectively organize a Memorial in their communities. On Sunday, 18 May 2003, thousands of communities around the world will come together in solidarity to light candles and remember those who have been impacted by HIV/AIDS. Local observances are coordinated by organizations, individuals, governments, and faith based communities. The organizing group is considered "Local Candlelight Coordinators" and receives all the necessary tools, including the official poster and the Coordinator's Manual, to help them produce an effective Candlelight observance for their community. Each year, Memorials take place in over 1500 communities in more than 85 countries. The International AIDS Candlelight Memorial has become the largest grassroots AIDS event in the world.
