AIDS Walk

The funds raised at the event sustain APLA Health’s care, prevention, and advocacy programs for those living with HIV in Los Angeles County.

[1] Each year AIDS Walk Los Angeles opens registration during Pride Month--when LGBTQ+ communities and supporters stand together to celebrate and advocate for inclusiveness and civil rights.

The walk is approximately four miles and starts and ends at the steps of Los Angeles City Hall and takes about two hours to complete.

The morning kicks off with an aerobic warm-up, followed by opening ceremonies featuring celebrities, musical performances, and HIV/AIDS activists and leaders.

Some of these projects could include: direct mailing pieces are sent out to registrants, creating fund-raising packages, phone-banking past participants and volunteers to continue their efforts, and many other tasks as needed.

Celebrities, elected leaders, corporations, religious organizations and churches, schools and universities account for some of entities that have supported AIDS Walks throughout the world.
