Wear Your Red Shoes In Support
The sixth annual AIDS Walk St. Petersburg will be held on Saturday, September 12th, 2009. This 5k walk begins and ends at North Shore Park in beautiful downtown St. Pete. Registration commences at 8:00AM with the Walk starting at 10:00AM. AIDS Walk St. Petersburg will benefit the clients of AIDS Service Association of Pinellas (ASAP). This year we also ask that people wear their red sneakers to the Walk as a way to remember those who we have loved, lost and are living with HIV/AIDS. 100% of money raised will remain in Pinellas County serving clients infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. Last year, over 2000 participants raised $117,000 for the clients of ASAP. Our goal this year is to pass the $125,000 mark.
We are excited to announce that Sheli Sanders will be Grand Marshal this year. Ms. Sanders is the host of CW44’s morning talk show, Bayside. Our Master of Ceremonies will be Ann Sherman-White, Coordinator of ASAP’s Department of Prevention and Testing. Live performances by the Double M Band Righteously Outrageous Twirling Crew (ROTC) and the St. Pete Twirling Project will provide entertainment for the Walk.
AIDS Walk St. Petersburg is sponsored by: Bright House Networks, CW44, Hospice of Florida Suncoast, ASAP, Double M Band, City of St. Petersburg, Olympus Printing, ROTC, Clip, Watermark, 7HL Studios, ImGayTV and Pepsi.
Individuals and teams can register online at www.AIDSWalkStPetersburg.org. Donations are collected by participants through a secure online payment system or by using sponsor forms which can be downloaded from the web site.
