HOW WE WERE BORN: Fulgencio Aponte and Jimmy P realized that although there are plenty of services for HIV general population, help for Hispanics and other minorities was not readily available. Both wanting to do more charity work, with Fulgencio's Agency contacts and Jimmy P's Human Resources and DJ, events planning and entertainment background, they co-founded RED HISPANA FLORIDA filling the void in services to Hispanic and Black Communities.
RED HISPANA FLORIDA was co-founded by Fulgencio Aponte (PRESIDENT) and W. James Perigny (CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER) on April 1, 2004. RHF RECEIVED 501(C)3 NOT FOR PROFIT STATUS IN JANUARY 2005.
