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.

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.
