Thanks to all of you and your support, AIDS Walk Portland exceeded its goal of raising $450,000 toward its mission of preventing HIV infections, supporting and empowering people affected and infected by HIV/AIDS, and eliminating HIV/AIDS-related stigma. This is hugely meaningful to us at Cascade AIDS Project--both the funds raised, and all the support the 10,000+ walkers showed!
This year, AIDS Walk was at a new location--The Fields Park--and on a new day, a Saturday. It was an amazing day of blue sky and full sun, and Governor Kitzhaber appeared as a surprise guest speaker to rally us all on. The feeling of community and support in the fight against HIV and AIDS was strong, and besides that, people had a really great time!
Again, thank you all so much for supporting Cascade AIDS Project through AIDS Walk Portland 2014. Mark your calendars for AIDS Walk Portland 2015 on Saturday, September 12th. The Fields Park was a hugely successful location, so we're holding it the kick-off there again, to be followed by a 2.5-mile walk through Portland.
See you next year!
