The Reno Aids Walk is thrilled to receive a donation from PSN. Join us August 22, 2009 at the Sparks Marina for the 4th annual Reno Aids Walk. In 2008 we donated $23,000.00 to local Northern Nevada AIDS Service organizations. Below are some facts about women and HIV/AIDS that may surprise you, and closer to home the number of new cases in Nevada in 2007 rose roughly 30% over the previous year.
You can help in many ways become a sponsor, form a team, set up your donation page and walk with us.
