Why We Walk
One in 78 individuals ages 13 and older in Broward County are HIV+.
In the United States, we have experienced 636,000 deaths of individuals with an AIDS diagnosis. Over 1.1 million individuals are living with HIV/AIDS, and almost 1 in 6 are unaware of their infection.
Thousands still do not receive treatment due to a lack of information or the stigma that remains.
We work throughout the year to change these numbers. It takes many advocates, individuals, social service agencies, medical providers, and businesses to influence this change.
Each year, on December 1st, we invite our community to come together for a World AIDS Day Walk to celebrate the progress we have made, the hope for a cure, and our friends and neighbors who are living happy and healthy with HIV.
Add a Ribbon Wish to our Wish Wall
Can’t make it to the walk on December 1st? You can add your wish, your hope, your dedication to a ribbon on our wish wall by making a donation online.
We’ll write your wish on a ribbon and tie it to the display for you.
