This year’s AIDS Run & Walk Chicago, Saturday, Sept. 18, will boast new changes including easier ways to participate and raise money. Register at www.aidschicago.org. This year the event will be held at Randolph Street and the Lakefront, a location which offers convenient parking at the Monroe Street and Grant Park garages.

AIDS service organizations (ASOs) that are members of the AIDS Foundation of Chicago’s

Service Provider Council can form ‘Community Direct’ teams where 50% of the

pledges raised by their teams will be immediately returned to their organizations.
