For the first time in two decades, AIDS Walk Colorado will be held on a Saturday instead of a Sunday this year. The event is a fundraiser for the Colorado AIDS Project and 30 other organizations that provide service and education for those dealing with the disease. Each year the Walk attracts around 7000 people who walk or run a 5K course that starts in Cheesman Park. Awards such as t-shirts and water bottles are given based on the amount of pledges turned in.
