AIDS Walk Walk & Win! - Winner to be announced soon!

The walker who raised the most money to support the Center's HIV/AIDS programs and services has won two (2) round-trip airline tickets on American Airlines and two (2) nights at a Westin Hotel.

For 25 years the Center has been in the fight.  Because AIDS is not going away.  AIDS still kills.  Every day, people are still becoming infected with HIV.  Every day our community turns to the Center for support.   Below are some important statistics. You can learn more at cdc.gov/hiv
