RE: [COMPANY/ORGANIZATION] Team is participating in AIDS Walk San Francisco 2008
Did you know that…
• between 40,000 to 60,000 people are newly infected with HIV every year?
• 50% of those newly infected are under the age of 24?
• 25% of those newly infected do not know it?
• San Francisco cases account for approximately 19% of all HIV cases in California?
• Approximately 19,000 San Francisco residents are living with HIV/AIDS?
Despite advancements made in the treatment and prevention of HIV, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the overall rate of infection continues to rise. This year,
[COMPANY/ORGANIZATION] has decided to form a team for AIDS Walk San Francisco to help those in our community either affected by or infected with HIV/AIDS.
AIDS Walk San Francisco is a 10-kilometer walkathon that benefits San Francisco AIDS Foundation (SFAF), in addition to several other local AIDS service organizations. For the past 25 years, SFAF has been dedicated to providing equal access to healthcare, cutting-edge medicine, and advocacy to their clients, regardless of ability to pay.
