BRATTLEBORO-The AIDS Project of Southern Vermont (APSVT) will hold the 39th annual Ron and Shirley Squires AIDS Walk on Saturday, May 23, from 10 a.m. to noon, starting and finishing at Centre Congregational Church, 193 Main St.
“HIV is preventable and treatable, yet it still affects people in our communities,” wrote organizers. “Many believe HIV is a crisis of the past, but while science has transformed it, the health crisis is not over.”
In southern Vermont, people continue to be diagnosed with HIV, and many rely on APSVT for testing, prevention tools, and support. For nearly 40 years, APSVT has worked to ensure no one faces HIV alone.
Last year, APSVT renamed its annual fundraising event the “Ron and Shirley Squires AIDS Walk.” Now in its 39th year, the walk continues a tradition of community solidarity, honoring those lost, recognizing progress, and recommitting to the work ahead.
Those who wish to support this event may do so by becoming a sponsor, donating directly to APSVT, or creating or joining a team or individual fundraising challenge.
A form can be found at bit.ly/865-walk. For questions or materials, contact Andi Waisman at andi@apsvt.org or 802-254-8263.
