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.
Our goal this year is to raise over $1,000! Donations under $100 go to Share the Plate, with 50% going to Nashville Cares and 50% going to the GNUUC Plate. Donations of $100 or more go to the Direct Donor Fund, with 100% going to Nashville Cares.
This year, an outdoor AIDS Walk and Nashville Cares festival are planned for Saturday, October 1. Festivities start at 8 AM and go until 2 PM. We’ll send out an update when we know exactly when the walk is (usually in the morning). To join our Team of Walkers and/or donate directly to Nashville Cares via our Team, go to (link: https://give.nashvillecares.org/gnuuc )
