The Tim Stein and Wayne Fette Catalyst Fund
The Tim Stein & Wayne Fette Catalyst Fund was established following the passing of our friend, Board member, and supporter, Tim Stein, and named in honor of him and his late partner, Wayne Fette. It was made possible by Tim's fierce generosity and dedication to HIV/AIDS services, and reflects the values we share as a community.
Team Wayne's World, in honor of Tim's late partner Wayne Fette, was Tim's AIDS Walk tradition for many years, and he walked annually with friends and loved ones in support of our agency. We honor their memories every step of the way, and continue to make progress toward our mission through their support.
