About Volunteer

  • Volunteer at AIDS Walk/Run

Come join us at  for the 28th Annual AIDS Walk/Run on June 7th, 2020. This time it's VIRTUAL!

This is a milestone year for this event as we mark the upcoming 2020 End the Epidemic initiative by New York State Governor, Andrew Cuomo. The 2020 AIDS Walk/Run provides us with a moment to celebrate our triumphs over HIV/AIDS, remember those loved ones lost to the epidemic, and support education to continue to prevent the disease from spreading.

Help us continue the 28 year legacy of supporting HIV/AIDS prevention and programming in Central New York and help lead the charge against substance use, poverty, and stand up for LGBTQ equality. 

Volunteers are the heart of our organization and are involved at every level of this event. Join our team!
