- This article is about the non-profit organization, for the musical group see Rites of Spring (band).
Rites of Spring is a non-profit organization which brings together Birmingham's gay community in support of raising awareness and assistance for individuals living with AIDS and HIV in the area. Through a series of fund-raising social events the all-volunteer group has raised more than $350,000 to support the missions of Birmingham AIDS Outreach, UAB's 1917 Clinic, and others.
Each Spring since 1992 the group has organized a major dance party at Sloss Furnaces with nationally-known DJs and other special guests. The Spring Party is the centerpiece of a full weekend of parties and brunches.
