History:
AIDS Walk South Dallas, Inc. was founded in 2009 to address the needs of marginalized and low-income communities and individuals impacted by HIV, whether living with or affected. We begin as a local 5k walk in a marginalized low income area in Dallas and one that has a high concentration of HIV cases. Our goal was to inspire, educate and galvanize the community and other surrounding areas of the city to continue to curb the spread of HIV/AIDS and assist those impacted. Our Founder and current CEO knew that the community needed more than just a walk once a year and so programs and services were created taking a true holistic approach allowing the organization to now reach thousands every year and truly impact and change lives in a positive way.
