Save the date! Sept 23, 2017 is the official launch date for the 5th Annual Great Wall of China AIDS Walk and we invite you to seize this opportunity to take action and make a difference! Several members of the Gay Games Hong Kong 2022 bidding team are currently fundraising and making plans to attend and show our support- and we invite you to join us! The 2017 China AIDS Walk will be a fun challenge as well as a great opportunity for networking with members from our diverse and energetic community.
Hundreds of other local and international activists, supporters and fans are anticipated to attend this annual signature event Walk on the Great Wall. And this year an ambitious goal has been set: walk with 300 people and raise CNY 500,000 (about USD 75,000). With your support, China AIDS Walk will be able to continue and expand their existing services and programs in research & public education, providing small grants to youth-focused projects, building a national AIDS Walk network, and organizing anti-discrimination events.
Together we will be one step closer to the goal of ending AIDS by 2030.

Since 2012, China AIDS Walk organizers have been driven to eliminate HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination. They also also raise funds for anti- discrimination initiatives and other grassroots projects helping people affected by HIV/AIDS. Participating in China AIDS Walk goes beyond fundraising; the event itself is a day of empowerment, tolerance, and education.
In 2022, Hong Kong hopes to have the opportunity to host the Gay Games in Asia for the first time ever. Gay Games Hong Kong 2022 will be an empowering experience for all - anyone can participate- regardless of ability, age, sexual orientation, race, gender, nationality, political or religious beliefs, ethnic origins, or HIV status- and let their passion for sports bloom without fear of being judged or stigmatized.
