14th Sierra AIDS Walk, Sept. 18

slide4-14th_sierra_aids_walk_sept._18.pngAmador County - Sierra HOPE will host their 14th Sierra AIDS Walk on Saturday, September 18, 2010. The walk begins anytime between 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., at Calaveras Big Trees State Park. The Walk is a major fundraising event for Sierra HOPE, a nonprofit organization providing a variety of educational and support services for HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis in Amador, Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties. Sierra HOPE, celebrating its 20th year of service in the foothills, continues to be a leader in the fight against these diseases. Most of their funding services come from government contracts and grants, but an increasing amount must be raised locally, through fundraising and individual donations. Last year’s AIDS Walk sponsors and participants helped raise over $11,000. They are hoping that people will be drawn to the beautiful surroundings at Calaveras Big Trees State Park and support this very important community event. Participants will be able to choose from three popular trails to complete the walk. The trails in the park, dominated by giant sequoias, have something to offer walkers of different skill and stamina levels. Via Press Release This email address is being protected from spambots.
