AIDS Walk Los Angeles is the world’s first walk to fight an epidemic.

 
In its 34 years, AIDS Walk Los Angeles has drawn hundreds of thousands of supporters to walk, and millions more to donate, raising more than $82 million to combat HIV and AIDS. The funds raised at the event remain a vital lifeline that sustains APLA Health’s prevention, care, and advocacy programs for the thousands of men, women, and families affected by the disease in Los Angeles County. Proceeds also benefit more than 20 other HIV/AIDS service organizations that are able to participate and raise funds through the Community Coalition Initiative (CCI).
 
APLA Health is a community-based health center caring for the LGBT, historically underserved communities and those affected by HIV in Los Angeles County. We provide services in four key areas: Critical HIV Access Services, Primary, HIV Specialty, Dental & Behavioral Health as a Federally Qualified Health Center, Health Education & HIV Prevention, and Advocacy to ensure access to care and reducing stigma. APLA Health was founded 35 years ago with a mission to end the AIDS epidemic.
