2 ABOUT US THE AIDS FOUNDATION OF CHICAGO The Mission The AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC) mobilizes communities to create equity and justice for people living with and vulnerable to HIV and related chronic diseases. For more than 30 years, AFC has led the HIV service sector in Chicago and Illinois through case management, housing, prevention and advocacy services. The Vision for the Future AIDS Run & Walk Chicago helps AFC work toward a day in which people living with HIV and related chronic diseases will thrive, and new HIV infections will be rare. To achieve this, AFC is focusing on four key priorities for the next three years: improving health equity, preventing new cases of HIV, serving as a collaboration and knowledge center and being a bold voice for change. Your support at AIDS Run & Walk Chicago will help AFC lead the HIV community toward this vision. AIDS RUN & WALK CHICAGO AIDS Run & Walk Chicago is AFC s grassroots fundraising event, where people from all walks of life change the story of HIV by raising awareness and funds to support those living with HIV. As beneficiaries of the event, AFC and our CommunityDirect partners are greatly impacted beyond just the obvious ways. AIDS Run & Walk Chicago stands up to the stigma associated with HIV, allowing progress to continue toward ending the epidemic. The event invigorates the sector by increasing awareness for the cause, growing our passionate community and allowing new leaders to emerge. Over 250 volunteers support AIDS Run & Walk Chicago each year by cheering on walkers and runners, registering participants, setting up the festival area and more. THE COMMUNITYDIRECT PROGRAM Members of AFC s Service Providers Council have the opportunity to benefit from AIDS Run & Walk Chicago through the CommunityDirect program the event s flagship partnership program that assists Chicago-based HIV organizations in raising funds for their own programs and services.
