AIDS Walk
Each year since the founding of
SILOAM, staff, volunteers, family and friends have partnered with the AIDS Fund on the third Sunday in October to walk 8.5 miles through Fairmount Park to raise much needed funds in support of direct care services, prevention and education programs, counseling and testing, medical care, and public awareness efforts in our community. Keep an eye on the
Pool of SILOAM newsletter for details on how you can participate in this wonderful event. You may join as an individual walker on
SILOAM Team #0389 or form your own sub-team to help us reach our annual fundraising goal.
SILOAM benefits directly through annual grants from The AIDS Fund which are based on a percentage of total funds raised. |

Heart of SILOAM Award
The Heart of SILOAM Award was conceived as a unique opportunity to honor those whose service to the HIV/AIDS community exemplifies the very heart of SILOAM’s mission. We recognize that an important partnership exists between individual caregivers and AIDS Service Organizations who dedicate themselves to the physical well being of people with HIV/AIDS, and
SILOAM who helps them make sense of the virus in their lives through the physical, emotional and psychological healing benefits of spirituality. In 2003, the first Heart of
SILOAM Awards were presented to The Jonathan Lax Treatment Center and Jeanmarie Zippo, R. N. of Action AIDS. |
