On Sunday, October 16, 2011, a small but mighty group of Southern California Student Affairs Professionals represented CCPA, SoCal NASPA, & WACUHO and walked 10 kilometers/6.2 miles and raised a little under $2000 with online, mail in donations and corporation matches to make a difference in the lives of men, women, and children affected by HIV and AIDS! Even though there has been a lot of publicity about AIDS treatments which are prolonging some people’s lives, they do not work for everyone and there is still no cure in sight. Moreover, young people are still getting infected at alarmingly high rates. Over half of those infected with HIV are under the age of 24, thus it is a reality some of our college students face daily. Joining over 30,000 participants the team journeyed through West Hollywood to support the cause. Please still consider donating to the Southern California Student Affairs Professionals team at http://aidswalklosangeles2011.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=478830&lis=1&kntae478830=792A854992D044DCAB729AA7D1B8DB4C&supId=0&team=4855768
