Time to register and starting planning for Boston’s annual AIDS walk and 5K run!
AIDS Walk Boston is back with a hybrid model — in-person or virtual — at DCR’s Carson Beach in South Boston on Sunday, October 2.
Opening ceremonies begin at 9 a.m., with a warmup, speaking program, VIP breakfast and award ceremony. The walk and the run both begin at 10 a.m. Afterward, there’s the Wellness Festival, with incredible local musicians (with headliner Cliff Notez), sponsors and food booths, plus much celebration and a fun “mini race.” (See the Day of Event page for details.)
Here’s the scoop from event hosts AIDS Action and Fenway Health:
Help us reach our goal this year of raising over $450,000. These funds go to supporting the vital work of Fenway Health and AIDS Action and help provide care and services to those living with HIV and to prevent new infections. Every dollar raised means more programs and services for those who count on your support.
Started in 1986, the AIDS Walk and the thousands of participants we have had during the last 37 years—like you—have made a significant impact in the lives of those living with HIV/AIDS. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on vulnerable people living with HIV/AIDS, and the need for care and services has never been greater.
As the leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS, AIDS Action and Fenway Health work together to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic and to help those living with, or at risk for contracting HIV, to live better lives.
The AIDS Walk unites hundreds of participants of all ages in support of Fenway Health and AIDS Action’s essential programs and services. Will you join us?
