It takes over 300 volunteers to put on the AIDS Walk each year. From set-up, to course monitors, to the after-party, volunteers are involved in each step of the way. For more information, visit the volunteer page or call (206) 957-1776.

We welcome your canine pal as long as it is kept on leash and is well-behaved around other dogs (and children!). Dog owners should bring enough supplies to clean up after their pets, especially along the walk route and in grassy areas where children play.
