Rotary Trump AIDS Poker Walk 2011

33. 3 million women, children, men are now living with HIV/AIDS
As many more have already died
New cases outgrowing treatments by 250%
AIDS is a war on women and children
Over 50% of adults living with HIV are female
Monogamous mothers often powerless to say "no"
to unprotected sex
14.8 orphans in sub-Saharan Africa alone
No community is immune (73,000 cases in Canada)
Treatment and prevention program are working, BUT two people are infected with HIV for every one person put on treatment availability.

One person dies of AIDS every 14 seconds. 2.6 Million new cases each year.

Proceeds fund local and international initiatives by participating Rotary Clubs and responsible NGOs to win the war on HIV/AIDS through education, prevention, treatment, support for orphans, surviving guardians and people living with AIDS.

In addition, communities stricken by HIV/AIDS will be assisted in overcoming shortages of drinking water, food, or shelter – essential for recovery and a sustainable future.

Supported organizations are carefully vetted for effectiveness and proper stewardship of funds.

The Trump AIDS Poker Walk was originally created by members of the Rotary Club of Belleville, Ontario Canada in 2007-08, where it continues to be held each spring.

In 2010, the Walk was also held in Toronto, now as a multi-club event. By 2011 The Toronto walk involved over 24 Rotary Clubs, 3 Rotaract clubs, Anglican churches and 8 HIV?AIDS organizations, overwhelming support from the community, hours of volunteer time by Rotarians, gifts-in-kind by many of their businesses, and generous corporate sponsors.

More than $330,000 has already been raised by the two Trump AIDS Poker Walks and put to work preventing and relieving the searing impact of AIDS on women, children, and men. This year, with your help, we can greatly increase that amount.
Join us. Walk, Eat, Play - and we’ll all Win!
