People are already registering for AIDS Walk Portland, and teams are planning costumes and raising money! This year's AIDS Walk will be held at The Fields Park in Portland, Oregon, and will take place Saturday, September 12. Since this is Cascade AIDS Project's 30th anniversary, buzz is really building around this year's event. Don't miss it!
We're looking forward to a big boost in registrants for the Walk over Pride Weekend, on Father's Day weekend this June. At our booth on the waterfront, we'll have games and other fun incentives for people to register using the laptops we'll have on hand to make registration a cinch.
In the meantime, we've been accomplishing a lot toward our mission of preventing HIV infections, supporting and empowering people living with and affected by HIV, and eliminating HIV-related stigma and health disparities. We're broadening our work with trans* people, a small community but onedisproportionately impacted by HIV. We're also deepening our ties in the Black community and strengthening our one-on-one assistance to HIV-positive people who also struggle with mental illness and substance abuse. As our fiscal year draws to a close, we'll have a lot of encouraging accomplishments to report.
We're looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, September 12, 2015, at The Fields Park! Don't miss the fun, and--more importantly--don't miss the chance to do your part to end HIV.
