The 2017 New Jersey AIDS Walk is an event that has been held for over two decades to raise awareness and funds for organizations that provide services to HIV/AIDS patients and their families. Services provided through the not-for-profit organizations involved include psychological counseling, diagnosis, treatment, prevention education, medical transportation, job training and placement. Individuals can get involved by donating, registering as a walker, or creating a team. This year's walk will be held on May 7, 2017 in Asbury Park and aims to unite multiple New Jersey communities in walking between 5k and 10k.
