As part of AIDS Foundation Chicago’s CommunityDirect program, 90% of the funds we raise are reinvested in Black Alphabet to support arts and media programs for Chicago’s Black LGBTQ+ community.

 

Your support helps us resist attacks on progress, restore hope through the arts, and renew our commitment to equitable healthcare.

 

Choose how you'll join: Stay-at-Home Supporter — $10, Walker — starting at $30, or Runner (5K or 10K) — $40.

 

Once you register, you'll get your own fundraising page. Our goals: $50 per participant and $500 as a team — let's blow past both together.

 

Can't make it out? You can still help: share your fundraising page, invite your network to give, or recruit a friend to join Team Black Alphabet as a walker, runner, or stay-at-home supporter.
