Newsletter: Team NOH8 Raises $10k for APLA!
Thanks to our hard-working teammates from Team NOH8, our supporters who donated to our team, and those who came out to support our team fundraiser at the Hollywood United Methodist Church- Team NOH8 Campaign was able to raise over $10,000 for APLA's AIDS WALK LA!

This was the NOH8 Campaign's first year participating in AIDS Walk, and we are incredibly proud of our supporters for helping us raise such an amazing amount of money for AIDS Project Los Angeles. We couldn't have done it without each and every one of your contributions! We were especially grateful for everyone who braved the rain with us; you made it an experience to remember.

"Today, you joined a united community in action, 30,000 strong, and filled the streets to take vital steps toward ending HIV/AIDS in L.A. County . Thank you for being a part of this incredible day.
Our efforts raised $2,878,711 for AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA) and 21 other critically important local AIDS service organizations. These funds will enable APLA and its community partners to continue providing urgently needed food, medical and dental care, safe housing, and much more to the most vulnerable among us: people with HIV/AIDS who also face poverty, hunger, homelessness, stigma, and a range of other challenges." - AIDS WALK LA
We hope all of you can join us next year as a part of this incredibly important event. Thanks again to everyone who made today possible and who braved the rain with us throughout the course of the walk, as well as our friend at AIDS WALK LA. It was a great experience walking with all of you!
Check out the individual shots of the AMAZING AIDS Walk LA Staff, who graciously invited NOH8 to their HQ in downtown LA so their entire office could participate. A HUGE thank you from us to them for all that they do for our community!
