Ryan Lewis, the Grammy-winning producer, and his former musical partner Macklemore began a charity called the 30/30 Project. The purpose of the project is to raise awareness and funding for AIDS/HIV. Lewis announced the endeavor in 2014 and said that his mother had contracted HIV via a blood transfusion she received during childbirth.

He wrote, “To honor the 30 years Julie has been a survivor, the Lewis family is raising funds to build health centers worldwide that will stand strong for at least 30 years.” Macklemore also supports the 30/30 Project.
