AIDSWALK will be in person this year!
AIDSWALK is such an important event for us and we couldn’t wait any longer to share it with you. Our traditional community event to honor those we have lost too soon and those that are living with HIV/AIDS is near and dear to us. In order to continue this tradition while maintaining our clients, supporters, and volunteers’ safety a top priority, we will hold the entire event outdoors. We are still awaiting the final approval for the venue location, but will be able to share that with you shortly. We hope you will join us!
