On Sunday, September 21, 2008, AIDS Calgary will host the 14th annual Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life.

Whether you are walking, volunteering, or making a donation, you can make a difference in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Last year, the 2007 AIDS Walk for Life Calgary met the target of $80,000 in support of AIDS Calgary with 750 walkers, 35 Teams and 100 volunteers showing their support. The event was successful in bringing Calgarians together to raise awareness of our united effort to end HIV/AIDS.

Where does the money go?

All proceeds from the 2008 Scotiabank Walk for Life will go directly to prevention, support and education programs for those affected and infected by HIV/AIDS in Calgary.

AIDS Calgary provides support services for people at-risk for, living with and affected by HIV/AIDS, and provides HIV prevention and education for the entire community. Click here for more info about our programs and services.
