FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27,
WELCOME TO THE 36TH ANNUAL AIDSWALK TUCSON!
On behalf of Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation, it’s an honor to welcome you to this year’s AIDSWALK Tucson, a special event that is even more significant as we come together under the stars for the very first time. Moving this incredible event to the evening allows us to create a new experience while maintaining the deep sense of community and purpose that AIDSWALK has always represented.
This event is not just about walking. It’s about standing together as a community, supporting those living with HIV, and remembering those we’ve lost. Whether you’re here to honor a loved one, celebrate progress, or show your support for the cause, your presence tonight is a powerful reminder of the strength we have when we unite.
I’d like to personally thank each and every one of you — our walkers, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters — for being here and making a difference. Your commitment to ending HIV, raising awareness, and providing care for those affected is truly inspiring.
Enjoy this beautiful evening, connect with one another, and know that together, we are moving closer to a future free of HIV.
Thank you for being part of this remarkable journey.
Warm regards,
Beth Frantz, CEO
