More than 25,000 participants raised
over $2.5 million in the 10-kilometer AIDS Walk San Francisco on July 21. More
than 700 teams participated and Gap Inc., a top fundraising team, raised over
$70,000.
Since the walk began 26 years ago,
it has raised $80 million. The walk benefits the San Francisco AIDS Foundation,
which distributes funds among Bay Area groups that provide services such as
free HIV screenings, sterile needle exchange, and healthcare for people with
HIV/AIDS.
A Kaiser Family Foundation 2013
report indicated that in 2011, California reported more HIV diagnoses than any
other state and that HIV infection among gay and bisexual men was still
increasing nationally.
The Friends of AIDS Foundation is
dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for HIV positive individuals and
empowering people to make healthy choices to prevent the spread of the HIV
virus.
