Did you know that every nine-and-a-half minutes, someone in the United States is infected with HIV? Since 1981, more than 25 million people worldwide have died from AIDS. More than 33 million people around the world are currently living with HIV/AIDS; Nearly 20,000 of those people are in Colorado.
On Saturday, August 14, 2010, VCD will be joining the fight against HIV & AIDS by participating in the 23rd annual AIDS Walk Colorado - the largest one-day AIDS-related fundraiser in the Rocky Mountain Region. Today, new treatments are available that have decreased the number of AIDS-related deaths from years past. Unfortunately, people are still being infected with the virus everyday. Therefore, I’m asking you to sponsor us in raising much-needed funds to help prevent new HIV infections in Colorado and provide for people living with HIV/AIDS.
Please help us reach our fundraising goal by clicking the link in this email and making a secure, tax-deductible donation on my personal donation page. By sponsoring us, you will have a hand in supporting prevention programs aimed at stopping the spread of the disease. In addition, you will help Colorado AIDS Project and the fundraising teams of more than 20 AIDS service organizations in Colorado continue providing vital services to many who are infected.
On behalf of those who are living with HIV and AIDS and those who have been lost because of it, thank you for supporting us and this cause.
Stay Funky, Fly & Fashionable!
