AIDS Walk NW
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
For 40 years, CAP has held an annual walk to celebrate life, reduce HIV stigma, and remember those lost to HIV and AIDS. Started as “From All Walks of Life” in 1985, AIDS Walk Northwest (formerly AIDS Walk Portland) continues to provide a unique opportunity for the community to gather and rally all of our communities together to raise awareness.
Walking not only reminds people that everyone has been affected by HIV and AIDS in some way, but it also reminds the community that HIV continues to impact millions in the United States who need organizations like CAP to continue to live happy, healthy lives. AIDS Walk Northwest is CAP’s most public-facing event, with thousands of walkers in Oregon and Washington who walk with the financial support of their friends and family from across the country.
