AIDS Walk & Run San Diego Celebrates 34 Years of Raising Funds For HIV/AIDS Organizations
On September 30, the 34th Annual AIDS Walk & Run San Diego will be hosted by the San Diego LGBT Community Center. The event, San Diego’s largest HIV fundraiser, kicks off with opening ceremonies at 8AM.
Come Join the 34th AIDS Walk & Run San Diego
Attendees are invited to once again register and fund-raise to support HIV prevention and treatment in the San Diego region. The event will also feature live music, a memorial to those lost to HIV/AIDS, and an opportunity to celebrate top fundraisers. Funds from this year’s event will support 11 local HIV/AIDS service providers.
The Final Walk
While this year’s event marks the final traditional AIDS Walk & Run that the organization will be hosting, next year will bring a new, inclusive program that aims to reach more San Diegans through both community education and empowerment to help break the stigma around living with HIV.
In a little over three decades, HIV/AIDS has changed from a death sentence to a condition that is manageable through medication and preventative treatments. Events like this helped fund San Diego’s most influential HIV/AIDS service providers, programs and services that helped make this shift possible.
Along with celebrating the progress made in fighting HIV/AIDS, AIDS Walk & Run San Diego remembers the lives of the thousands of San Diegans lost to AIDS, a condition once intentionally ignored by policymakers and public health officials. Now, in a world where the conversation has shifted toward prevention and treatment, thousands more San Diegans with HIV are able to lead full, thriving lives.

See you there, San Diego!
