AIDS Walk

The Phoenix LGBTQ Employee Alliance in partnership with the Phoenix Fast-Track Cities Initiative is asking for your help in combating HIV/AIDS by joining us as a runner, walker or sponsor for the City of Phoenix Fast-Track Cities Team in the Aunt Rita’s Foundation AIDS Walk Arizona. This year’s AIDS Walk will be held on Saturday, March 22 at Steele Indian School Park, 300 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix 85012.

The Phoenix Fast-Track Cities initiative is part of a global initiative to end the HIV epidemic by the year 2030. The initiative encourages individuals to get tested so they know their HIV status, promotes accessibility and the use of antiretroviral therapy to achieve viral suppression for individuals who are living with HIV, and aims to eliminate stigma associated with HIV/AIDS. Since 1988, the Aunt Rita’s Foundation has been raising money to provide funding for programs at Phoenix-area hospitals, clinics, and non-profit organizations focused on preventing, treating, raising awareness about and eliminating stigma associated with HIV/AIDS. The Aunt Rita’s AIDS Walk Arizona provides a fun way for us to support these efforts. Walking with, running with or contributing through the City of Phoenix Fast-Track Cities Team demonstrates the commitment of City of Phoenix employees and their families and friends toward eradicating HIV/AIDS and their insidious impacts while demonstrating our love and support for individuals in our community living with or otherwise impacted by HIV/AIDS.

Thank you very much for supporting this very important effort!
