Event Information

On April 16th, 2016, hundreds of students and community members will take part in an initiative to combat the AIDS epidemic in the greater New Haven area. The twelfth annual AIDS Walk New Haven is a campaign led by Yale University’s AIDS Walk New Haven Board in collaboration with community members, local colleges and universities, and the Mayor’s Task Force on AIDS.

The event will begin on the New Haven Green where there will be numerous speakers, performance groups, children’s activities, and more. The 5K walk will follow a route through downtown New Haven.
