Imara Candy, AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) Communications Director joined On Point with Juandolyn Stokes to invite listeners to the 32nd Annual AIDS Walk Atlanta Music Festival and 5K Run presented by AHF Pharmacy.
The event will take place on Saturday, September 23 at 10 a.m. at Piedmont Park’s Active Oval, 400 Park Drive, Atlanta. Musical guests this year will be Ashanti and Mya!
AIDS Healthcare Foundation is the world’s largest nonprofit HIV/AIDS healthcare organization, hosts the event which raises more than $1million each year for 11 Atlanta-based HIV/AIDS service organizations.
“We are a non-profit organization with a footprint across the globe and a strong presence in Atlanta,” said Canady.
The day will begin with Walkers/Runners who are participating in the 5K race, which will be used as a qualifier for the Peachtree Road Race. Around noon the musical festival will begin. There will be plenty of vendors and a variety of resource information.
AHF is unique. “We offer cutting-edge medical care regardless of their ability to pay. Within 72 hours of diagnosis, we offer care. We don’t let finances be a barrier to care,” said Canady.
