POZitive Attitudes

This topic was discussed at the last Wednesday night Group.  Please remember that for every dollar you donate to the AIDS Walk that money will be matched 100%. So if you give $25 that would become a $50 donation to benefit the World AIDS Museum. Thanks for all your support guys. See details below.

Note:  Sign up now so you don’t miss out on the Free Registration Code (below) 

Dear Pozitive Attitudes Group Members,

Have you ever thought “I wonder where we would meet if the Museum were not around?”    I do.  I think about this a good deal because it is expensive to have this wonderful museum.  The rent alone at the museum is close to 5000.00 per month and that is just rent!  To counteract my concern, I take action as a Board Member to raising money.  I hope you will help me.

The Florida AIDS Walk is on Saturday, March 23^rd.  This is our Major fundraiser of the year and the event that keeps the Museum and Pozitive Attitudes with a home.  We have an aggressive goal of 2 & 2 –  200 walkers, (to try and win back the biggest team award), and $200,000.    Since we are a “befitting organization”, every dollar raised is matched by AIDS Healthcare Foundation so we need to raise $100K to get $200K.

I am asking that you register to walk with a goal of $100 or more.  You can either ask friends for donations or you can donate the money yourself.   Think about it…when you divide the $100 goal by 52 weeks of Pozitive Attitude meetings this comes out to 2.00 per week.

You can sign up as a Walker or a Sleep Walker –  The intent of a Sleep Walker is that you fundraise but not walk.  Both count toward our 200 walker goal.   A Sleep Walker can hang out at the Beach for an hour or so and then reconnect with those who walked to enjoy the music concert after the walk.

The donations that we raise will be used to:

• Provide additional HIV / AIDS education to the children in the Broward County School District,
• Continue and expand programming at the Museum such as our Film Series and our Community Dialog sessions that help to reduce the Stigma surrounding AIDS,
• Keep the Museum vibrant telling the “accurate” story of the AIDS Pandemic and to ensure that the story is never forgotten.

To sign-up as a Walker or Sleep Walker…

1. Register to walk at https://floridaaidswalk.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=register.start&eventID=508 .  Select Walker or Sleep Walker,  Select the Happy Hiney’s / WAM team.  Put in a goal of $100 dollars or more, post your picture, and update your page story on why you are walking.  Use the code HH2019 for a free registration (saving you $25)    Near the end of online registration, please consider putting in an Additional Donation of $25 you saved or the full $100 goal.  These Additional Donation amounts are dollars that are “matched” by AIDS Healthcare Foundation
2. Post on Social Media –  Go to your personal AIDS Walk page and copy the link starting with https: and paste this into a new message in Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.   Add some words asking for your friends to donate.
3. Get Friends to Walk with You:  Get your friends to register and walk with you.  Forward this email message to them that contains the free code.  Plan to ride together to the beach.
4. Birthday before March 23?:   If you have a birthday before March 23^rd, consider using social media to post a fundraiser a month before your birthday and direct the funds to the Florida AIDS Walk Happy Hiney Team.
5. Optionally Host a fundraiser – every dollar counts.   You can accept cash  or direct people to your fundraising page.

We hope you’ll help the team reach our goals. Thanks.

Sincerely,

Steve Stagon,   Founder of the WAM and Leader of Pozitive Attitudes
