aids WALK 2008: Change the Course of the Epidemic

Welcome to my 2008 AIDS Walk lens! I hope you will find this handcrafted lens a unique and useful resource for your 2008 AIDS Walk|fundraising experience. I have two goals with this Squidoo lens:

First, Provide YOU with unique, useful and updated information on the amazing AIDS organizations, the AID Walk events, information on what other walkers are doing and unique ways to energize your fundraising, motivate your team & inspire yourself! Re: Custom Buttons | Buttons of Hope - Putting a face on fundraising | North Carolina

Second, I'd like to introduce myself and Buttons of Hope
for your consideration. I started Buttons of Hope to give people like you a way to personalize your cause. Rather than just scribbling a name on the back of your t-shirt -- now you can easily create your own custom photo button to honor a loved one or support a friend. Imagine if everyone at the AIDS Walks wore a button with the smiling face of a loved one, WOW! [more on Buttons of Hope and me below]

So grab a cup of coffee & take a look around -- I hope you will find this a useful and fun resource and please consider wearing a photo button in honor of your loved one ~ together we can put a face on AIDS/HIV!
