The AIDS Walk Los Angeles
AIDS Walk Los Angeles is an educational and fundraising event organized by APLA Health, a leading LGBTQ+ healthcare nonprofit. It’s all about coming together as a community to not only fight against HIV/AIDS, but to fight for LGBTQ+ healthcare.
The money you help raise primarily goes towards providing better healthcare and support for these two groups of people. Some funds raised also go towards supporting local allies (our CCI partners), making an even broader impact in the fight against HIV/AIDS and the fight for quality LGBTQ+ care.

How do you start fundraising? Tips from AIDS Walk LA:
Lead By Example: Donate to yourself first to prove your commitment.
Craft Your Story: Share why you’re passionate about supporting the HIV/AIDS community and LGBTQ+ care.
Connect One-on-One: Reach out to friends, family, and people you know individually so you can have a heartfelt conversation.
Meet People Where They Are: Everyone communicates differently, so use different platforms to reach out.
Create a Safe Space: Create opportunities to talk about your cause. Whether it’s at school, church, or a social gathering, find a space where you can have open and honest conversations about LGBTQ+ care and health inequities.
