Posted by jleung28 in 1, Community, Event, Health, Volunteer, walk.add a comment
Step up and walk with the AACI team to support our HIV program and the fight against HIV/AIDS at the 2009 Walk for AIDS Silicon Valley!
The walk will take place Sunday, October 18th from 10am – 12pm in San Jose.
It’s FREE to walk, but please help us raise money if you can! Every dollar counts.
We are walking to raise funds for AACI’s HIV program, one of only two non-clinical HIV testing sites in the county and the only program targeting the Asian American community. With the current state budget elimination of HIV education/prevention funding, the program needs support now more than ever.
TO REGISTER:
1. Sign up at our AACI team website: http://tiny.cc/AACI_AIDSwalk
2. Choose Asian Americans for Community Involvement under AGENCY DESIGNATION (100% of the funds you raise will be donated directly to the AACI HIV Program. If AACI is not designated, funds will be divided among the nine benefitting agencies.)
REGISTRATION IS FREE! THE FIRST 50 ONLINE REGISTERED WALKERS WILL RECEIVE A FREE API AIDS AWARENESS T-SHIRT.
If you have any questions or would like more details, please contact:
Mark Molina at 408.975.2730 x 183 or Sedora Tantraphol at 408.975.2730 x 114.
Please see our flyer! Please invite friends & family to walk with you and thank you for your support!

AADP is a community non-profit organization dedicated to helping save the lives of patients with Leukemia, Lymphoma and other blood diseases that are curable by an adult stem cell transplant. AADP outreaches to the Asian American, Pacific Islander and Multi-Racial communities to raise awareness about the critical need for more API donors in the national registry. As of today, only 30-40% of all Asian leukemia patients will find a donor match for their transplant, simply because there are so few Asians registered as potential donors. To find out more, go to www.aadp.org.
