Are you looking to make a HUGE difference in lives of people living with Cancer and HIV/AIDS? We need a Webmaster to implements web pages, maintains content and oversee our day-to-day management of the company website. This is a great way to give back to our global and local communities.

This is a great opportunity to work directly with executive staff and a great way to get the experience to jump into your career of choice. We also have a video channel titled worldaidsmarathon mirroring the work the Richard M. Brodsky Foundation does in Kenya and why Richard is so enamored to help the people of Kenya + how we can help create a cultural bridge where Dunga/Kisumu, Kenya (fronting Lake Victoria) can be sister cities with Rockaway, Kenya. There is also a personal video message from Eliud Kipchoge to me.

More specifically, the Foundation will also sponsor the only AIDS run or walk on Long Island on June 2, 2024. This 17th annual Event will be held in Baldwin Park. We even have Steve Mitchell performing as ELVIS PRESLEY. The Foundation has donated over $370,000 to local organizations helping people who are living with HIV and cancer by providing cash, toys and clothing, and COVID -19 food relief.

In addition, the 18th annual World AIDS Marathon, half marathon, 10K and 5K will be held on the Rockaway Beach boardwalk in Queens, NY, USA on World AIDS Day, 12/1/24. This is the only marathon in North America on World AIDS Day. A few days later we will be traveling to Kenya for our 18th time to sponsor 4 orphan dinner dances & provide medical care for orphans, two days of art, music and dancing for special needs kids, a meet and greet dinner, and a 5K run to honor the 40,000,000+ people who have died from AIDS.

Mission Statement

The Richard M. Brodsky Foundation focuses on raising awareness that while AIDS is a global health threat, it is destabilizing Africa. A LACK OF DOCTORS, MEDICINE, AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION, CLEAN DRINKING WATER & NUTRITIOUS FOOD COMBINED W/ AN ABUNDANCE OF POVERTY, HUNGER, MALARIA & TUBERCULOSIS is the reason why 2/3 of the people dying from AIDS are from sub-Saharan Africa. This Foundation exists to: (1) Improve the lives of people affected by HIV and cancer both in Africa + America with a strong emphasis on helping orphans + kids; (2) Raise awareness to government, business + society that people living w/ HIV + cancer can lead healthy productive lives if they have access to medical care + medicine; (3) Encourage others living w/ HIV to disclose their HIV-status; (4) Encourage people w/ HIV + cancer to lead a healthy, upbeat lifestyle; (5) Provide meals/medical care for orphans in conjunction w/ World AIDS Marathon; + (6) Raise money for HIV + cancer cures
