This year, we are celebrating 30 years of the Honolulu AIDS Walk to honor 30 years of fighting HIV/AIDS in Hawaii. Because HAW is unable to host an in-person walk due to the current ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, they are hosting an online, socially distanced, month-long, virtual walk.   

Together we can: 

Raise Money - Funds raised go to support vital HIV services right here in Hawai'i. 

Raise Awareness - HIV is not over.  There is no cure and almost 39,000 Americans are newly diagnosed each year.   

Fight Stigma - Show our support for those living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. 

By combining our collective efforts as allies to a community that has been severely underserved and historically stigmatized, we have the power to make a difference. 

Many of us at VPLS are blessed with amazing jobs featuring benefits that can support us in our time of need, this is not the case for a majority of people, especially in this day and age. Remember that every little bit counts and together we can raise enough money to significantly impact the life on one or even many! 

The theme of this year’s Honolulu AIDS Walk is 30 Years in 30 Days, it is a tribute to the long rich history of the Honolulu AIDS Walk, Life Foundation, The CHOW Project, and Hawai'i Health & Harm Reduction Center.  

Our team has the entire month to post their walks on social media and tag the Hawai'i Health & Harm Reduction Center @hhhrc_. Also, throughout the entire month, there are many ways for you to be a part of all that we have in store to celebrate. Please visit "How to Participate" to view updates on prizes, giveaways, contests, silent auction, and ways to support. 

Thank you for your continued support!  It is your passion and the resilient spirit of the communities we serve that allows the Honolulu AIDS Walk to thrive for 30 amazing years.
