Join us on Sunday, September 26, 2010 for Louisville AIDS Walk, Kentucky’s largest annual HIV/AIDS fundraising and awareness event. Each year families, friends, students, volunteers, teammates and co-workers come together to bring awareness to the AIDS epidemic in our community. Through the participation of hundreds of volunteers and over 5,000 walkers this event has a proud sixteen year tradition of mobilizing thousands of people in the local fight against AIDS.
It all starts at 1:00pm on the Belvedere with food, beverages and on-site registration. A professional photographer will be onsite taking Team Photos and each team will receive one free lab processed photo. We’ll have a variety of live entertainment and special guests including: Dawne Gee, Congressman John Yarmuth, Dr. Adewale Troutman, Voices of Kentuckiana, River City Drum Corp and more!
Our Walk is family friendly, pet friendly and handicap accessible!

There is no cost to participate in the Walk or Pet Walk. Our 5K Run begins at 2:00pm. The AIDS Walk and Pet Walk begin at 3:00pm and follow the same route. The scenic, flat, 3.1 mile course starts and ends on Louisville’s Belvedere. The route includes crossing the Clark Memorial Bridge to Jeffersonville Indiana which provides panoramic views of the Ohio River and city skylines.
This year, now more than ever, we need your support. With the looming economic recession, record high home foreclosures, increased food, utility and gas prices, we are concerned donations will be affected. With 100% of proceeds going to provide direct services and knowing our organization is a Better Business Bureau accredited charity, you can be sure your support will be making a difference for our neighbors who are struggling with HIV/AIDS.
To learn about where the money that's raised goes and more information about the Louisville AIDS Walk, please visit the Funding Allocation page. Help the Walk raise money for local AIDS services by organizing a Walk Team! We invite you to try our new Online Fundraising Tool where you can build a free personal fundraising web page, create a real or virtual AIDS Walk Team, email friends, compete against other Walkers and Teams for prizes and awards and track your donations!
A dedicated group of creative, energetic volunteers are working hard to make sure this year's walk not only raises awareness and funds for HIV/AIDS services but is an opportunity to have some fun too!
