Dear Friends,

It is my great honor to support the Tampa Bay Red Ribbon Run! The Tampa Bay Red Ribbon Run is the annual fundraiser to support the HIV/AIDS education, advocacy, prevention, and treatment programs of The AIDS Institute www.theaidsinstitute.org and Metro Wellness and Community Centers www.metrotampabay.org.

This year’s event will be held in Tampa, Florida’s Lowry Park Zoo on World AIDS Day, Thursday evening December 1st.  Tampa, Florida is the home office location for both The AIDS Institute and the Metro Wellness and Community Centers.

Providing access to prevention, care and treatment is the cornerstone of these two non-profit organizations.  Your support means helps to ensure there will be services available to those who need it when they need it.

It is important to note that Florida alone has 40% of the entire nation’s AIDS Drug Assistance Program waiting list patients. These waiting lists mean:

  • Even though life-saving medications area available, these ill and poor are denied their medications due to the lack of money by our states’ safety-net programs.
  • Of the nearly 10,000 people throughout American on this waiting list, nearly 4,000 reside in Florida.

This event helps us put a spotlight on this critically important problem and helps us fund solutions to save our friends’ and neighbors’ lives!   Help us spread the word that the fight against HIV/AIDS is NOT over!

Join me in supporting this critically important event by being a:
