Valentines Flowers Her - Valentine for AIDS: the tradition continues


The Flying M’s annual Valentine for AIDS is a mosaic of community. It’s generative, big-hearted, inspiring, inclusive and essential to Boise’s cultural life.

So much so that when longtime Flying M manager Kent Collins bought the funky Downtown coffeehouse in July, he had no doubt that Valentine For AIDS — now in its 19th year — would go on as always.

“This really brings our community and our customers together. People have been talking about it since Christmas,” Collins says. “It’s something that this town needs.”

It opens on First Thursday, Feb. 2. The silent auction bidding goes until 4 p.m. Feb. 12.

More than 250 artists, from professional to novice, donated work in a staggering variety of media to benefit the Safety Net for AIDS Program (SNAP). It provides financial support for people with HIV/AIDS.
