Louisville AIDS Walk is organized and supported by:
The Louisville AIDS Walk heightens awareness of HIV/AIDS, unites the community and raises money to address the needs of local people who are living with HIV/AIDS. Since 1993, the Louisville AIDS Walk has had an impressive overall average expense rate of only 11%. 100% of the Walk's proceeds are distributed to multiple local, non-profit HIV/AIDS service organizations which provide critical direct services such as food, housing, medication assistance, counseling, legal assistance, transportation to and from medical appointments, educational/health/life skills workshops, a monthly fellowship dinner, children's programs and more for people in Louisville and Southern Indiana who are living with HIV/AIDS. A tax deductible contribution to the Louisville AIDS Walk is an investment in caring. Please join us September 13th as we celebrate our 17th Anniversary!
YouTube videos are easy to e-mail out family and friends to encourage them to support your fundraising or invite them to Walk with us on September 13th! You might also consider adding a YouTube video to your personal web site, blog, MySpace, Facebook, LiveJournal, business or organization web page. It's one more way you can support Kentuckiana's largest HIV/AIDS fundraiser!
The incomparable Elton John graciously agreed to support Louisville AIDS Walk by recording the public service announcement below. We are so honored and grateful to have this support from Elton. In addition to being one of the most celebrated and accomplished entertainers in the world, Elton is also one of world's foremost HIV/AIDS philanthropists. Special thanks to our friend Tim for arranging for this recording.
Sir Elton John joins fellow celebrities, Lily Tomlin and Margaret Cho who in previous years, also were kind enough to record a psa for Louisville AIDS Walk. We are humbled to have such support. We hope their voice helps to encourage more involvement in the local fight against AIDS.
