Raise AIDS awareness and funds to benefit House of Mercy at our Walk for AIDS. 2016 marks our 25th Anniversary! In 1991, in response to the growing HIV/AIDS crisis which had reached epidemic proportions, the Sisters of Mercy founded House of Mercy. House of Mercy is a nonprofit home that provides care for low-income persons living with AIDS.
Join us for the 3-mile walk through historic downtown Belmont beginning on the Sisters of Mercy campus and ending on the House of Mercy grounds. Following the walk we will host a picnic reception with music, dancing, prizes for top fundraisers and birthday cake. First 250 participants raising $50 or more will receive a Walk Tshirt.
By collecting donations in support of your walk, you will change a life at House of Mercy. Our goal is to raise $39,000 this year. Walk as an individual or gather some friends to form a team. Teams will be listed on our website. Will you help us?
Donation forms, map and other info is at www.thehouseofmercy.org/2016WalkforAIDS.asp or contact marjoriestorch@aol.com Please join us!
