On Sunday, July 19, AIDS Walk San Francisco celebrates its 40th Anniversary; a powerful milestone honoring four decades of remembrance, resilience, and action. What began in the early years of the epidemic as a bold act of love and defiance has grown into one of the most enduring HIV/AIDS fundraising and awareness events in the country.

Team SFGoth will be joining AIDSWalk for the 27th year!

Wait … goths outside during the daytime? Why?

Since 1999, Team SF Goth – the longest-running and most-funds-raising of the AIDS Walk SF non-corporate teams – has helped to raise over $80,000 for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation to benefit multiple organizations around the Bay Area serving those living with HIV/AIDS, and to seek a cure.

Some of Team SF Goth’s members have lost loved ones to the AIDS epidemic, so for many team members over the years, being part of this effort has been a personal journey as well as a community service.

This year’s Walk is more than a gathering, it’s a tribute to the lives we’ve lost, a celebration of the progress we’ve made, and a renewed call to end the HIV epidemic once and for all.

For four decades, thousands of walkers, teams, donors, activists, and partners have come together to raise critical funds for HIV prevention, care, and support services throughout the Bay Area. Because of you, lives have been saved. Because of you, stigma has been challenged. Because of you, hope continues to grow.

40 Years. One Community. Still Walking.
