AIDS Walk Las Vegas 2007

Today we participated in the AFAN Aids Walk 07 to help show our support for those in need, and to continue to serve the community by participating in events like this. Aid for AIDS of Nevada (AFAN) provides support and advocacy for adults and children living with and affected by HIV/AIDS in southern Nevada. AFAN works to reduce HIV infection through prevention education to eliminate fear, prejudice and the stigma associated with the disease. Founded in 1984, Aid for AIDS of Nevada (AFAN) is the oldest and largest AIDS service organization in the state of Nevada. Nearly two thousand men, women and children infected with HIV are registered as clients with our agency. AFAN provides direct client service programs, food programs, prevention and education programs, and community outreach. The client service programs enhance the physical health and psychosocial wellness of the individuals they serve, while promoting their dignity and improving the quality of their lives.
