Volunteers Raise Funds, Enthusiasm for AIDS Walk

BCCS is off to a running start in raising money for this year's AIDS Walk, thanks to our volunteer team captains! They have set up a table at the Lancaster Center on Tuesdays and Fridays, promoting the activity, giving away flyers, and asking for donations.

"I'm really excited about the whole thing," says team captain Betsy, who is HIV positive and a recovered drug user. "I came here through the hospital, and when I got here, I got involved. If you are infected with the virus, you can keep on living and still help other people. Brandywine has helped me do that, and that's why I'll do anything for this program."
