Keeping East Bay Money for East Bay HIV/AIDS Service Providers
100% of our funds go to the HIV/AIDS agency of the walker's choice.
Pictures from the East Bay AIDS Walk 2008 can be found at www.pal.printroom.com under the East Bay AIDS Walk tab.
Due to improvement projects around Lake Merritt, Oakland, the East Bay AIDS Walk 2009 will be postponed until May 2010. Please check back on this website as we get closer to that date!
DID YOU KNOW?
More than 15,000 people worldwide are diagnosed with HIV/AIDS each day.
Women of color between 14 and 24 and African American MSM (men who have sex with men) are some of the fastest growing populations becoming infected with HIV in Alameda County.
Around 25% of people infected with HIV do NOT know they are infected, resulting in an increase in the spread of this deadly disease.
Most AIDS service organizations are experiencing budget cuts, resulting in decreased services and even organizations permanently closing their doors.
People who are affected have little or no voice to address the growing number of issues/barriers preventing them from accessing care.
Community awareness is effective in spreading education to people who aren’t thinking about HIV/AIDS.
