AIDS Walk San Diego
September 29 | 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.

Hello Friends,
This year, more than ever, being a part of the UC San Diego AIDS Walk Team really counts!
AIDS Walk San Diego is donating back 85% of what our team raises (from $2,500-$10,000) to UCSD HIV/AIDS service programs. Additionally, both they and the San Diego Human Dignity Foundation are matching that donation, for a potential return of 255% of what the UC San Diego team raises. If we reach the maximum matched goal of $10,000, we stand to bring in $25,500.
UC San Diego programs that are eligible to receive matching are:
Please take a moment to look at these four amazing programs that give so much to the San Diego community. When you register for the team, please send an email to Ian Morton, imorton@ucsd.edu, to let him know if you would like your percentage of the funds raised to go toward one specific program OR be split evenly between the four.
Also, please forward this email to your colleagues and friends who want to walk for a great cause. Hope to see you on Sunday, September 9th at AIDS Walk San Diego 2013!
