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.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
