Keep Phoenix New Times Free
We’re aiming to raise $10,000 by April 26. Your support ensures New Times can continue watching out for you and our community. No paywall. Always accessible. Daily online and weekly in print.
Raising money for a worthy cause can mean anything from running a marathon to miles of bike riding to racing your pet ferret. But for those of us less mobile and weasel-less, the AIDS Walk A-Go-Go makes it easy to give green: drink alcohol.
“We wanted to get the word out to a wide variety of people, and the bar scene’s got that,” says event planner for Sway Events, Helena Grayson. Sway’s responsible for organizing the fundraiser, now in its second year.
Hardly a walk unless you’re making your way to a bar stool, AIDS Walk A-Go-Go partners with local drinking establishments throughout Phoenix who contribute a portion of the evening’s proceeds to AIDS Walk and Aunt Rita’s Foundation. Raising more than $3,000 in 2009, this year’s 16 neighborhood establishments include Charlie’s, BS West, Bar 1, Roscoe’s, Kobalt, and Cash Inn Country.
