The 2010 Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life - New Location!
The 2010 Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life is scheduled for Sunday, September 12 at Springbank Gardens. Once again, funds raised support essential programs and services for people living with, affected by and at-risk for
HIV/AIDS in our community. The Walk is organized in partnership with AIDS Committee of London, John Gordon Home and Camp Wendake .
Organizers of the Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life in London do not support door to door solicitation of funds. We strongly encourage pledges to family, co-workers and friends.
The safest, most secure way to pledge is online at www. aidswalkforlife.ca where you will automatically have access to a charitable tax receipt.
Last year's Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life in London raised over $40,000 for the three partner organizations. Our goal this year is $45,000! Help us reach the top by pledging a friend
or gathering pledges for your own walk because "The Walk will do us good!"

WHEN: Saturday, November 27, 2010
COST: $45 per ticket
WHERE: Dufferin Hall, 453 Dufferin Street, London, ON
WHY: The AIDS Committee of London is holding a special dinner event to commemorate 25 years of service delivery in London and area for people living with, affected by and at-risk for HIV/AIDS.
Over the past 25 years many people have been a part of the development of the AIDS Committee of London. In its earliest days,
the agency was wholly run by volunteers who saw an urgent need in the community and were willing to address it head on with determination and compassion.
As the HIV/AIDS cause shifted and evolved many of the pioneers of the AIDS movement in this community have either passed away or moved on to other things.
We are interested in reconnecting with the people who have impacted the development of the agency. 2010 marks 25 years of ACOL working for the rights and
dignity of people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS in our community. To commemorate the journey we are planning a special event at which we will remember the
lives lost to AIDS and the reasons the agency was created, honour our past and the people who had the strength and courage to do what is right and to celebrate our
achievements while looking forward to the great work we will continue to do for the community.
