Lansing Area AIDS Walk

Posted

For more than 25 years, the Lansing Area AIDS Network has hosted an annual AIDS walk in remembrance of those who have died from the illness and in celebration of those who continue to live with HIV. In addition to raising awareness about HIV and AIDS, the event raises funds to support LAAN’s programs and services, including group support meetings for people with HIV, free HIV testing, PrEP and PEP access, safer sex supplies, a food pantry, companion animal support and more.

This year’s event will run 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday (Sept. 21) at Edgewood United Church in East Lansing, featuring a 2-mile walk around the city, guest speakers, a community vendor fair, food, a DJ and kids’ activities. Registration is $5 for youth and either $15 or $25 for adults, depending on whether they’d like a T-shirt. There’s also an option to create a team and raise funds for LAAN in advance to receive free entry. The team that raises the most money will receive an award and prizes.

To register yourself or a team, purchase a vendor space or make a donation to LAAN, visit laanonline.org/events/aids-walk-2024.
