On October 27 and 28, the “B Here” campaign to raise awareness of hepatitis B comes to UC Davis. B HERE is a new campaign designed to raise awareness of hepatitis B, a life-threatening liver disease that affects up to 2 million people in the U.S. – many of whom are Asian Americans. 1 in 10 Asian Americans suffer from Hepatitis B in the U.S. A two part live event, B HERE is a university tour that kicked off in UC Irvine and then traveled University of Houston. It is making its final stop at UC Davis this Tuesday 10/27 and Wednesday 10/28.

The event consists of an art exhibit featuring artwork from Asian Americans of notable art schools like Pasadena Art Center and also a live concert featuring rising Asian American musicians and performers like KevJumba and Happyslip (YouTube Comedians), KABA Modern(MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew), David Choi (YouTube artist), as well as many more! We are expecting a large gathering of Asian American students, approximately 700 – 1000, in support of the hepatitis B awareness art exhibit and live performance.

This event is part of a larger cause to help raise awareness of the prevalence of hepatitis B in Asian Americans across the U.S. By reaching out to youth-young adult Asian Americans, B HERE hopes to spread awareness to their respective families and friends as well.
