AIDS Walk 2011

Capital Region AIDSWALK 2012

11am Registration - 12PM Walk Begins

Many of our friends, family and neighbors are in desperate need of health care services and other life-saving programs, but with cutbacks in government dollars, these programs are often under-funded.

Now, more than ever, your donations are needed to support organizations providing HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention education, counseling and testing and care services for people living with HIV/AIDS. We urge you to take this important step in the fight against AIDS by registering for the walk. The funds you raise will go toward direct services to hundreds of men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS in the Capital Region.

Remember Why We Walk:

Since 1981, over 600,000 Americans have died of AIDS.
Every 9 1/2 minutes, someone in the U.S becomes infected with HIV.
Approximately 20% of people infected with HIV do not know it.
As of December 1, 2008, approximately 116,000 New Yorkers were reported living with either HIV or AIDS and NYS remained the epicenter of the AIDS epidemic, with 16 percent of all people living with AIDS nationally.

Join us for a fun-filled afternoon with friends, family, awards, The Names Quilt, Food, and entertainment. We look forward to seeing you at the 2012 Capital Region AIDSWalk and helping us to strive to provide better care for those living in the Capital Region with HIV/AIDS.
