The Silicon Valley AIDS Leadership Center (SVALC) was founded in 1989 as a beneficial agency to support Bay Area AIDS and HIV-positive patients. SVALC was widely known for organizing the Walk for AIDS and Unmask the Mysteries fundraisers, which raised funds to benefit AIDS resource centers in the region. Major corporate sponsors included San Jose software company Xilinx. For tax exemption purposes, SVALC formed a separate organization called the Santa Clara County AIDS Coalition, later renamed AIDS Coalition Silicon Valley (ACSV), in 1999 to organize the Walk for AIDS and Unmask the Mysteries events.
