It’s time to Walk to End HIV and this year’s event will be EPIC!
EPIC (Empath Partners in Care) is Tampa Bay’s largest HIV services organization created from the merger of ASAP (AIDS Services Association of Pinellas) and Tampa’s Francis House.
Together we serve more than 2,000 HIV-positive clients throughout Tampa Bay, touch the lives of more than 10,000 people in our area, and provide:
More than 2,500 free rapid HIV tests each year
Pharmacy services
Educational resources and outreach
Support services including counseling, financial help, food and personal needs pantries
As a past supporter of EPIC (ASAP or Francis House) we know you value this specialized HIV care. We invite you to lace-up your walking shoes and Walk to End HIV by raising funds at the 14th Annual Tampa Bay AIDS Walk and 5k, December 9 at beautiful Vinoy Park in downtown St. Petersburg.
Raise funds by telling your friends and family about why EPIC and its programs and services matter to you. Tell them about the event and ask them to make a donation in person, online through emails you can send or linking to your walk webpage through your social media sites. You will have all the tools to be successful.
If you find you would like to step up your level of support, you can form a team and act as a Team Captain. Top fundraisers and teams are eligible for great prizes. The greatest prize though is knowing you are supporting life-changing HIV care in our community in the hope that one day we will no longer have to walk because HIV will be eradicated.
Thank you again for your past support and we ask for your continued support by registering today. You can sign-up as an individual or join a team. If you cannot participate in this capacity we hope you will consider making a donation to the event.
Sincerely,
Tampa Bay AIDS Walk & 5k Run
