Walk for Life Pre Party!

The picture should explain it all. Dinner will be followed one of three exciting activities. Please come out and join us for a good time. Bring your friends and partner with you!

This Week: Hot N' Tasty

Wednesday, September 9th. 7 to 8 PM
Join a phenomenal group of men for great conversation and coffee tomorrow night over at Cafe Mestizo (631 W. North Temple Suite 700)

Tuesday, September 15th. 4 to 8 PM
The Utah AIDS Foundation, in conjunction with National LGBT Center Awareness Day, will be cooking up 3 gallons of chili for the PRIDE Center's first Chili Cook-Off! We've got our poker faces on for this one, so we can't say much about what kind of chili we're making or how delicious it WILL be. We do, however, encourage you to stop by The Pride Center between 4 and 8 PM to try the most scrumptious pot of chili ever cooked up by a community-based organization (hint: the special ingredient is love).

Friday, September 18th. 7 to 9:30 PM
Pre Walk for Life Party! Please join us at Noodles and Company in Sugarhouse as we prepare to walk it out for this year's Walk for Life, a fund raiser to benefit the Utah AIDS Foundation. Still haven't registered to Walk for Life? Visit http://www.firstgiving.com/utahaids today!

Saturday, September 19th. 8:30 AM
WALK FOR LIFE! Join the community in walking to prevent the spread of HIV and provide services for people who are living with HIV. Meet at Liberty Park bright and early for a warm up session and special dance number from the men of The Village. This year's Walk features an optional 22 mile bike tour and the actual walk will end at the 9th and 9th Street Fair. Please call 801.487.2323 with questions.

ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION?

"At their core, heroes are trailblazers, engulfed by a spirit that is unafraid to break outside the constraints of conformity to innovate and improve the space in which they exist. And their path is a rocky one – some of the greatest minds of our time have been plagued by the pioneer's curse. All too often, the rest of the world greets these ahead-of-their-time individuals with a blind eye (or even worse, hostility). Unfortunately, tangible genius is rarely recognized until it is no longer with us..."

Our biggest appreciation to all volunteers who help us organize and to have a successful Pride celebration weekend. I'm proud to say that we distributed 8,000+ condoms to different bars & clubs and even in our booth. Our Giant condoms was a hit and our condom balloons was floating around the festivities. YOU made these happen and for that WE thank you!
