On May 20th, CAM4 had the honour of co-sponsoring the annual AIDS Walk<\/a>\u00a0New York, the largest single-day AIDS fundraising event in the world! The event has\u00a0inspired nearly 890,000\u00a0people to walk and millions more to donate, raising nearly $150\u00a0million to combat HIV and AIDS. This year, the event raised $4.4 million for Gay Men’s Health Crisis<\/a>, which will goes towards essential services provided by GMHC and other HIV\/AIDS organizations in the NY area, which includes\u00a0housing, food, access to medical care and more.<\/p>\n

Over 20,000 people attended the event in Central Park, which featured\u00a0a 10 km walk around the park. Over\u00a0100,000 people in the New York tristate area are believed to be living with HIV\/AIDS, yet one in five are not aware that they have the virus.<\/p>\n
