The AIDS Walk & Ride is sponsored by the Indiana AIDS Fund to raise money for HIV impacted Hoosiers throughout Indiana and the agencies that serve them. These agencies provide their clients with direct care, financial assistance, housing, prevention, medications and more. All of the money raised from this event is filtered back to the community through the Indiana AIDS Fund?s Gregory R. Powers Direct Emergency Financial Assistance (DEFA) program, which provides essential needs out of reach for persons with AIDS, such as food, clothing, rent, utilities and medications. The AIDS Walk & Ride will take place on Saturday, October 11, 2008 at University Park, Indianapolis. This is the 18th year for the 5K AIDS Walk and the 5th year for the 10K bicycle ride. In 2007, over 1,000 people participated, raising a total of $182,000.
