Dear Friends and Family,

Did you know that,

• ·          Between 40,000 to 60,000 people are newly infected with HIV every year?

• ·          Half of those newly infected are under the age of 24?

• ·          25% of those newly infected do not know it?

• ·         Despite advancement made in treatment and prevention in HIV, the overall rate of infection continues to rise?

The Sacramento Valley AIDS Run/Walk is a 5-kilometer run/walk that benefits thirteen local AIDS service organizations. For the past 6 years, the SVARW has provided these local agencies with the money they need to conduct and provide HIV Prevention & Education, HIV Children's services, Scholarships for students living with HIV/AIDS, Housing, Transportation to medical appointments, Support groups, Outreach, Case Management, Medical Care, AOD services, and much more. 

Join me Sunday, September 9^th, in making a meaningful difference in the lives of people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.  This is my [forth] year participating in Sacramento Valley AIDS Run/Walk and acknowledging that the fight is not over. I have set a goal to raise [$5000.00].

Please make a generous contribution to the Sacramento Valley AIDS Run/Walk by going to my page www.sacvalleyaidsrunwalk.org.  It's a quick and easy way to help in the fight against AIDS.  The website is secure and all donations are 100% tax deductible.  If you prefer to write a check please make it out to the Sacramento Valley AIDS Run/Walk and send it to our home: P.O. Box 4201 Citrus Heights, Ca. 95611
The AIDS Walk is our community's single most powerful and enduring response to the AIDS pandemic, and this year you can be a part of that response. I thank you in advance for being as generous as you can and for joining me in this important cause.

Warmest Regards,

Ezra Sweis
