Just a walk in the park right? Not this year! After reviewing plans closely with health officials, organizers of AIDS Walk San Francisco concluded that risks to the public outweighed the benefits of proceeding as usual with the usual in-person event in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. This year, it's a virtual event, but in many ways it may be more connected than ever. This year there will be a live stream on social media and on broadcast television. As always, the important things will still be in place: awareness and fundraising.
I do this every single year and although this blog is NOT about me, this is one of those days when I make an exception, because here is something every single one of us can get involved in. Help spread the word. Donate if you are able. Watch the event next Sunday. You might even consider signing up yourself!
Of course in the midst of a global pandemic, we can very well gather in the park. Physical distancing would be impossible! I will certainly miss the lovely breakfast and the prewalk exercise. I'll miss greeting old friends and I'll even miss the walk itself. I'm going to try to raise more money though than ever before. If you can help. click HERE and go to my secure fundraising page. I'm looking forward to seeing all the new elements including the participating celebrities.
It won't be the usual walk in the park, but I hope many of you will join in for this year's re-imagined streaming event, featuring Bette Midler, Vanessa Williams, Gloria Estefan, Queer Eye stars, and so many others. You can watch the event in the San Francisco area on KGO Channel 7 and also at https://sf.aidswalk.net/
