WHY WE WALK
AWLA is the world’s first walk to fight HIV and AIDS. It’s true — in 1985, a group of fed-up activists, patients, advocates, and friends gathered to shake the government into action during the AIDS crisis. And it happened on the streets of Los Angeles.
Since then, hundreds of thousands of walkers have raised more than $90 million so that APLA Health is equipped to fight HIV and AIDS in Los Angeles County. These funds help sustain and expand APLA Health’s prevention, care, and advocacy programs for more than 18,000 individuals living in Los Angeles County.
When APLA Health was founded in 1983 as AIDS Project Los Angeles, our goal was to end the AIDS epidemic in Los Angeles County. That’s still our goal today. We knew that access to affordable, culturally competent healthcare was inextricably tied to ending the HIV epidemic, and so in 2016, AIDS Project Los Angeles became APLA Health. We were the first AIDS service organization to become a federally qualified health center, and our mission today includes breaking down systemic barriers to healthcare for our fellow Angelenos.

"I am here supporting this cause standing tall and walking AIDS Walk Los Angeles so that others don’t have to go through what I went through. And because of organizations like APLA Health, I got my second chance in life, and don’t have to go through it alone."

"Our team impacts the community because we have introduced social purpose to a lot of individuals in groups that were just social groups and now they feel a lot better about life since they see how they are contributing to the community."
