World AIDS Day Vigil & Remembrance Walk
About the event
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 Vigil & Remembrance Walk. We meet at Hagen Park (behind Wilton Manors City Hall) and walk down Wilton Drive united in memory, healing, and love.
The candlelit walk culminates at The Pride Center with a few words of respectful remembrance, support, and continued vigilance.
We invite the community to join us at Hagen Park to strengthen this tradition of hope and healing.
