Saturday, September 8th, 2012 will prove to be another successful day for HIV
Awareness as we host our 2nd Annual HIV Awareness Walk.
Please make your plans to join us as HIV Arkansas members from Fayetteville and Ft Smith, advocates, friends, family and local community supporters put their feet on the ground “STEPPIN’ UP FOR HIV AWARENESS”!
The opening ceremony will begin at 2pm on the main concourse stage of the Jones Center for Families in Springdale. The walk will take place outside on the track, unless it is raining and then we will walk indoors. Either way it will be a pleasant walk for all to enjoy.
We are challenging all our friends and members to take the “STEP UP” challenge and join us. It’s time to make a statement about HIV and the best way to bring awareness to the issue is with a big turnout for this event.
Also this will be the major fundraising event for HIV Arkansas and the NWA Regional HIV Clinic.
Contact HIV Arkansas at events@HIVarkansas.org to volunteer to walk or sponsor! or you can visit our HIV Walk page to download pdf versions of the individual registration, sponsorship and corporate sponsorship forms.
