This year marks the 18th AIDS Walk in Grand Rapids. Last year, despite the slowing economy in Michigan, we had over 300 walkers raise nearly $17,500.00 for care and prevention programs for the Grand Rapids area.

Organizations who benefit from the Walk/Run include:

  • A.I.D.S. (Advocacy, Information & Diverse Services, Inc.) community outreach in the areas of HIV/AIDS awareness, education and prevention in urban Grand Rapids.
  • Ama Tu Vida outreach initiative in the Hispanic/Latino community, focusing on persons living with HIV/AIDS.
  • The Grand Rapids Red Project improving health, preventing HIV, reducing risk.
  • St. Mary’s Health Center providing medical, pharmaceutical, dental, and vision care for person’s living with HIV throughout ten counties of western Michigan, who would otherwise be unable to access these services.
  • Westminster Ryan White Food Pantry providing items such as personal care products that otherwise would not be available to their HIV/AIDS clients.
