As an organization with a primary mission of raising funds to combat HIV/AIDS, we are closely monitoring the surge of Covid cases due to the Omicron variant. We do anticipate a reduction in cases in the coming weeks and will make a decision on this event (and other in-person gatherings) that best protects our community. As always, vaccinations, boosters and masks are strongly encouraged when engaging with our community.

Event Location:
AIDS WALK will be held in Theis Park, which is located southeast of the intersection of Emanuel Cleaver II Blvd. and Oak Street (south of the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art).

What’s a team?


Everybody loves to participate in AIDS WALK with friends, coworkers and family. It's easy to create your own team. . More information about how to create a winning team is in our download section here. You still get your individual prizes even if you’re a part of a team.


What are the white banners?


That’s part of the Memorial Team. They’re a group of families and friends who have lost someone to AIDS. Many of them have been walking with us since the first year of the walk, 35 years ago. The names they honor also appear on the memorial T-shirt you get when you raise $100. To learn more about the Memorial Team, click here.

Does AIDS WALK only raise money on Saturday, April 27th?


Not any more. Because of federal and state budget cuts, more help is needed in Kansas City than ever. Fundraising for AIDS Walk is a year-round adventure. There’s always something going on!

Here’s a list of the yearly events of the AIDS WALK Fundraising Family:

Where does the money go?


All the money you raise stays in Kansas City, helping four major organizations. You can read more about these wonderful groups on the About AIDS Service Foundation Page.
