The AIDS Community Resources, based
in Syracuse, New York, will have its annual First Frost AIDS Walk/Run on
October 14. Pre-registration is at 1 p.m. for the 5K walk/run, beginning at the
New York State Zoo at Thompson Park.
AIDS Community Resources offers
prevention, education, and support services to individuals infected with or
affected by HIV/AIDS in nine counties, including Jefferson, Lewis, and St.
Lawrence. Creative pre-event fundraisers usually raise more funds and awareness
for the agency than the walk.
According to Development Associate
Jacki C. Coe, the more interesting the event, the more people are attracted and
are thus exposed to the educational information the organization provides about
HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. In the past, pre-events have
included a wing-eating challenge, Blow-Out Fantasy Hair Show, and a Red Solo
Cup Party.
