AIDS Walk New York
For Immediate Release
HIV Edmonton’s “TOP WALKER” is going to NYC
Top fundraiser to win a trip for two to participate in the AIDS Walk New York in May 2010
Edmonton – HIV Edmonton has partnered with AIDS Walk New York and is proud to announce the incentive prize for the 2009 Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life “Top Walker”. The walker that raises the most money for the 2009 event will win a trip for two to NYC to participate in the 2010 AIDS Walk New York, as well as all corresponding celebrity and hospitality events.
AIDS Walk New York started in 1986 and is the largest AIDS Walk in the world. The 2009 AIDS Walk New York saw more than 45,000 walkers on the 10 km route through Central Park and raised $5.6M.
HIV Edmonton has also partnered with Travel With Us, an Edmonton based travel agency, to make this incentive prize package possible. The Edmonton Walk for Life “Top Walker” will receive airfare for two, hotel accommodations in NYC and will be invited to attend the VIP Breakfast at the historic Tavern on the Green in Central Park.
 “We are so grateful to AIDS Walk New York and Travel With Us for partnering with us on such an amazing incentive prize,” said Debra Jakubec, HIV Edmonton Executive Director. “Our walkers are so passionate and supportive and we look forward to awarding this package to our most successful and hard working Top Walker.”
On September 20, 2009, Edmontonians are invited to gather at Churchill Square to walk to raise funds and awareness for HIV/AIDS programs and services. Join us for the Edmonton debut of The Blue Montegos for a post-walk concert. The 2009 Scotiabank AIDS Walk for Life: Alberta Throwdown is the largest annual fundraiser for HIV Edmonton and it will be a head-to-head fundraising competition with AIDS Calgary. Pledges can be made online at www.hivedmonton.com or directly with individual walkers or team captains. Raise $1,000 or more to become a member of the first ever Extra Mile Club.
