AIDS Walk/Run for Life
About the Event
Our annual AIDS Run/Walk for Life is APRI’s signature fundraising event. It brings together people from communities across Rhode Island to raise and renew awareness of HIV and AIDS, honor those who have passed, and raises funds that ensure we can continue to fulfill our mission. The Walk has in years past been held at the Statehouse and other locations in and around Providence and featured a number of community speakers, politicians, and activists of all stripes.

Registration will go live in winter 2020. Last year, more than 350 people who came together to support the work we do and to fight for an end to new cases of HIV in Rhode Island.
