Now in its eleventh year, AIDS Walk San Francisco has become Northern California's largest AIDS fund-raising event. While support for the AIDS Walk has grown enormously, nowhere has it been more pronounced than in the area of team participation. Funds are raised by individual walkers who seek sponsorships from family members, friends, co-workers and neighbors for each kilometer they will be walking.
Many participants collect several thousands of dollars each.
Turn this idea into a fund-raising tool by asking design participants to pay a nominal entry fee that then becomes part of your team total. Each stand holds registration cards for the event and can be coded to register people onto your team. Hold an AIDS Awareness Day and distribute informational materials about the AIDS Walk. The overwhelming generosity of individuals and teams ensures the continuation of the many life-saving programs and services provided by the S.F. AIDS Foundation and other AIDS organizations throughout the Bay Area. Copyright 1997, San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
