Five of New Jersey’s leading AIDS service organizations have unified their efforts to produce a single
state-wide awareness and fundraising event from May 1-3, 2020.
Due to the spread of the coronavirus, the NJ AIDS walk committee has decided that this year’s event will be virtual. NJ AIDS Walk participants will be provided with a virtual walk media kit containing tools need for their participation. Following local and federal health guidelines participants are encouraged to create and share their own NJ AIDS Walk posters, video messages, photos while taking their personal walks!
Keeping social distancing and outdoor area restrictions in mind, the walk will be extended from May 1-3, 2020. This will not only give everyone ample time to participate, it will give the organizers the opportunity to share a special 3 day photo and video documentation of the Past, Present, and Future of the fight against HIV/AIDS. They will be posting throughout that time, including all of the amazing things you’re doing as supporters!
Registration is free, so please register now!

A Message form the SJAA:
Since the inception of NJ AID Walk 10 years ago, we have raised more than $2 Million dollars to support HIV/AIDS services in New Jersey. Your continued support is the key to the success of ending the HIV epidemic. Today we need you now more than ever as we help our clients and communities, this very moment, navigate through the COVID-19 Pandemic!
If there is any community that has the strength, the will and the passion to fight the current COVID-19 pandemic IT IS US! We are doing everything we can to support our communities NOW! We have front-line staff making sure people receive life sustaining food and crucial medication. Staff are on call, operating from home by phone and online providing community wellness checks, support that ensures people are able to stay in their homes safely. SJAA staff are assisting with housing referrals, food delivery and handling case management to ensure health services continue.
Support for this free event can take many forms. Each of us has a role to play. For some it will be using social media talents and skills, for others it will be making sure we remember all the loved ones we’ve lost. And for others who have the means, please consider making a monetary donation. Every contribution, in any form counts and is appreciated.
Once again, on behalf of SJAA and the entire NJ AIDS WALK team, we thank you for your patience and understanding. Please feel free to reach out to us with any concerns or questions, and please keep yourself, your family and your community safe and healthy!
Remember, if there is any community that knows how to get through this, it is us!
WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! STAY JERSEY STRONG!
