UCLA Government and Community Relations (GCR) invites all members of the UCLA community to join Team UCLA in this year's annual "5K AIDS Walk for Minority Women and Children." The event is cosponsored every year by Congresswoman Juanita Millender-McDonald and the African American Women Health and Education Foundation. The event will take place on Sat., April 22 and usually begins at 9am.

The 10th Anniversary Dinner for the 5K AIDS Walk will take place on Tuesday, April 18, 2006 at UCLA's Covel Commons. Click here for more details.

The proceeds from the event benefit several clinics treating AIDS patients: Charles Drew Oasis Clinic, Harbor-UCLA Pediatrics AIDS Unit, T.H.E. Clinic, Watts Healthcare Corp, Long Beach Memorial Pediatrics AIDS Clinic and the Asian Pacific AIDS Intervention Team.

The event is held at Cal State Dominguez Hills every year and attracts 3,000-5,000 walkers. Our team has grown exponentially every year, and we expect this year to be the largest team yet. We expect to have over 150 students, alumni, faculty and staff participating in this year's walk.

Please contact Michael Swords, Assistant Director of Federal Relations at (310) 794-6829.
