I'm just a girl, a girl with a ukulele. Playing sweet songs to support AIDS Walk KC.

 

I'll be posting an "original" AIDS Walk song every Friday until walk day! So check back each week & throw a girl some dollars - then enjoy my song of appreciation!

Calling All T-Shirt Designers!

Anyone can enter a t-shirt design to be considered for our team look this year. T-shirt designs must be approved by Development to make sure that they fall in line with the overall mission statement of the clinic (mostly this equates to “keep it classy”). KC CARE logo must be used in design. Two color designs are preferable (the KC CARE Red or it’s reverse image White must be used as one color). All submissions are due by March 1^st. And voting for the official design will be on March 15^that the AIDS walk committee meeting at 1:00 pm. The red color must be the same as the logo, for uniformity of branding. 

Submit completed designs by March 1st to Juan Rivera or Kristen Paulson.

 

Special Considerations: It has been suggested that a KC CARE clinic t-shirt rather than an AIDS Walk specific t-shirt might “have more legs” in sales. Just a thought.

My Personal Life Motto: I am never from concentrate!

Why AIDS Walk is Important to Me: I walk to find the path to an AIDS-free generation.

My Last Words: We have a chance to give countless lives and futures to millions of people who are alive today but equally, if not profoundly more importantly, to an entire new generation yet to be born. The goal of an AIDS-free generation is ambitious, but it is possible. An AIDS-free generation would be one of the greatest gifts the United States could give to our collective future. –borrowed from Hilary Clinton

It's that time again! Please consider donating to my AIDS Walk page. Even the littlest amount is helpful. AND, I'm on the fundraising committee this year.... so it will look pretty terrible if I can't manage to raise money... :) All of the proceeds stay in the Kansas City area, helping ppl with HIV/AIDS to access much needed medical care. Let's keep KC healthy. Again, any small amount of donation will be SO APPRECIATED!
