Dozens of agencies -- serving thousands of clients -- rely on funds raised at the annual AIDS Walk to help provide essential prevention and care programs to thousands of men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS. Established as AIDS Walk San Diego in 1989, this event took place for two years prior as the Walk for Life. Through a unique funding partnership with the San Diego HIV Funding Collaborative, AIDS Walk San Diego is able to increase the impact of the dollars raised at the event. Funds from the Walk are combined with donations from other philanthropists and foundations to qualify for matching funds. Since 1989, AIDS Walk San Diego has raised nearly $8 million. In partnership with the San Diego HIV Funding Collaborative, nearly $500,000 was distributed to 20 community-based HIV/AIDS service organizations in San Diego County. 2010 Funding Recipients Being Alive Bienestar Christie's Place Comite Civico del Valle, Inc.
