We LOVE our AIDS Walk & Run San Diego Volunteers!

The Annual AIDS Walk & Run event, in addition to being one of our largest fund-raising events, is also the event that engages the largest number of volunteers to support The Center at any given time. In the past, it would take the combined effort of up to 500 volunteers to help us with set-up and logistics both before and during the huge event.

In 2020...

Because of the ongoing pandemic, the AIDS Walk & Run is going to be entirely different. In an effort to safeguard the health and well-being of participants and volunteers, major changes have been made to the design and implementation of the event, and as a result we have not planned ANY of the same volunteer activities that we had in the past.

So how can interested and motivated volunteers support AIDS Walk in 2020?!?!? JOIN OUR TEAM of VOLUNTEER WALKERS!!! This year, we’re organizing a team composed of Center volunteers and annual AIDS Walk & Run volunteers.

OUR TEAM GOAL IS TO RAISE $7,000.00 !!!!

We are designing an EXCLUSIVE, volunteer-only AIDS Walk & Run experience!!We’re ramping up the fun and intrigue by adding several “Easter Eggs” along the route that ONLY members of the Volunteer Team will be able to find!
Volunteers who join the team and raise at least $100 (just an additional $65 on top of the $35 registration fee) will receive a 2020 AIDS Walk & Run t-shirt; branded for volunteers and available to VOLUNTEERS ONLY
The first 300 people to sign up are eligible to receive a 2020 AIDS Walk & Run branded neck-gaiter.
This is THE BEST opportunity for volunteers to support AIDS Walk & Run this year!!!

To join our volunteer team, please click on the “Register” button below, and under the “Fundraising Team” category, search for “Volunteers @ The Center” and join!!!

If you’ve already signed up as an individual, you can still join our team. If you send me your name, address, phone number, and email address to volunteer@thecentersd.org, I can work to have you transferred to the team!

Volunteering to support the AIDS Walk & Run is a special experience every year and the source of many fond memories for our volunteers. This year will be different from ALL OTHERS and I hope you’ll join our team in creating new memories during the 2020 AIDS Walk & Run!

“In this, my 30th year with AIDS, I walk in memory of those who have died and in honor of long-term survivors."

I encourage, motivate and empower our entire organization to be part of AWSD year after year. It is thanks to their hard work and effort that we have been able to raise funds that eventually comes back to our department in grant form from AWSD to continue supporting our patients. Yesterday, today and tomorrow, we at SYHealth will be part of AWSD!"

"I walk in memory of my many friends and chosen family who are no longer with us. Each step I take is to pay homage to the suffering and sacrifice they endured, especially those who risked their lives on clinical trials that led us to the advancements people with HIV/AIDS take advantage of today."
