New Jersey AIDS Walk 2012
The 2nd Annual New Jersey AIDS Walk - Sunday, May 6, 2012
Seven of New Jersey's Premier AIDS Service Organizations spanning every region of the Garden State will join together again to raise awareness and funds for those living with and/or affected by HIV/AIDS.
One Day – One Cause – Seven Locations – RIDGEWOOD - Newark - Morristown - New Brunswick - Asbury Park - Pennsauken - Atlantic City
With more than 50,000 people currently living with HIV/AIDS in New Jersey, we have never needed the community's support more. NJ Buddies hopes you will join us at our site: the Saddle River County Park (Ridgewood Duck Pond) in Ridgewood, NJ.
The event will begin at 11:30 am with Registration, during which participants receive their T-shirts, help themselves to refreshments, interact with sponsorship representatives and activities, and view the AIDS Memorial Quilt. At 12:30 pm, everyone will gather at the Pavilion for the opening ceremony and group photo. At 1:00 pm, a guest speaker will deliver a speech; local politicians appear as well. Participants (in Ridgewood and the other locations) step-off for the 5K Walk at 1:30 pm. Participants will be in athletic attire, with T-shirts provided on the day of the event.
Expected attendance is > 2100 statewide. It is our goal, through advertising and promotions, to reach the over 8 million residents infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. Please save the date and look out for more information to come in 2012! Location: Ridgewood Duck Pond - Saddle River County Park, 1133 E. Ridgewood Ave., Ridgewood, NJ, 07450
