AIDS Walk New York and Gay Men's Health Crisis Announce Record Corporate Sponsorship Levels

"These businesses recognize both the social importance of contributing to the AIDS Walk as well as the positive effect that being a sponsor of this event brings to their businesses," said Craig R. Miller, Founder/Producer of AWNY and President of MZA Events. Corporate support for the event comes in the form of major sponsorship and employee team fundraising. This year, an estimated 45,000 will participate in the 24th annual 10-kilometer walkathon beginning and ending in Central Park on Sunday, May 17. More than half of the participants will walk with nearly 700 corporate teams. "Over the years, many companies have come to recognize that HIV/AIDS directly affects employees, customers, and stakeholders. Participating in the AIDS Walk is a way of acknowledging this reality while fortifying the bond with these groups -- many of whom bring their own individual passion and determination to fighting this battle every day," added Miller.
