September 2024 Share the Plate: Nashville Cares AIDS Walk. Donate and/or Join the Walk on October 19!
At GNUUC we have a long-standing tradition of supporting Nashville CARES through our enthusiastic participation in its annual AIDS Walk fundraising. Their mission is to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Middle Tennessee. They work to achieve this through education, advocacy and support for those at risk for, or living with, HIV.
HOW TO DONATE
Help Greater Nashville UU raise significant funds to support the critical mission of Nashville Cares. Our goal this year is to raise over $500! Here are ways to donate:
Most members of the congregation will be giving to Nashville Cares through the regular Share the Plate fundraiser. You can donate via Breeze to “Share the Plate”, or by paper check, made out to “GNUUC”, with “Share the Plate” in the memo. 50% of your donation will go to the Nashville Cares AIDS Walk, and 50% of your donation will go to the GNUUC plate.
On the other hand, if you are able to contribute $100 or more, your generous donation will go into the Direct Donor fund. If you want your donation to be in memory of someone, please let us know. All September Share the Plate donations over $100 will go 100% to support our GNUUC team for the Nashville AIDS Walk. Team captain, Kristin, will enter donations into the AIDS Walk website and you will get an email acknowledgment from Nashville Cares!
Anyone can also contribute directly to our Team at the Nashville Cares Walk, by going to our Team Page. This money will go directly to the Nashville AIDS Walk, contributing to our Team Goal of $500!

ABOUT NASHVILLE CARES
Nashville Cares: It is our vision to see a community where HIV infections are rare, and when they do occur; everyone with HIV has access to care, treatment and support to achieve optimal health and self-sufficiency without stigma or discrimination. Your Sexual, Physical and Emotional Health is our priority.
Nashville CARES is committed to following all CDC guidelines and recommendations, and Nashville Metro Health COVID restrictions, so this event may need to be moved from an in-person event, to a virtual platform.
