The New Jersey AIDS Walk is about saving lives through raising funds for HIV prevention, detection, and treatment of HIV/AIDS.
In 2010, a consortium of the leading HIV service organizations joined forces to create the first unified, state-wide, New Jersey AIDS Walk. With record attendance and beautiful weather, New Jerseyans from a cross-section of socio-economic and diverse demographics, joined the Walk to fight for a world without AIDS.
Each year we garner new partners to join our ranks in the fight against AIDS. These partners have allowed us to consistently increase event revenue, and thus redirect these funds to support people living with HIV/AIDS in New Jersey.
We are committed to spending at least 75% of our revenue directly on AIDS programs and facility expenses, keeping administrative and marketing expenses to a strict minimum. In the past fiscal year, we are proud to report that over 89% of all income was directly distributed to AIDS Service Organizations in our state.
We are a consortium of New Jersey’s largest and most active AIDS service organizations and community action networks. Our beneficiaries work every day to improve the lives of nearly 40,000 New Jersey residents living with HIV/AIDS.
