UAF AIDS Walk is Sept. 10

The annual Salt Lake AIDS Walk will take place Saturday, September 10, at Liberty Park, 600 E. 900 South from 10 a.m. to noon.

The walk is to raise awareness of the health injustices faced by the LGBTQ+ community, reduce HIV-related stigma, and honor those we have lost to HIV.

It is also an annual fundraiser that benefits clients served by Utah AIDS Foundation. Participants are encouraged to raise money to provide Utahns with health services. Organizers hope to raise $75,000 at the event.

Organizers ask you to challenge your friends to start a team and encourage them to raise more than the rest.

Utah AIDS Foundation is rolling out an expanded mission and vision to fill gaps in the health needs of the LGBTQ+ community. In this spirit, organizers say they renamed the event to Salt Lake AIDS Walk +, reflecting Utah AIDS Foundation’s commitment to the community.
