Mason was one of many universities and organizations that made a significant contribution to fighting HIV/AIDS right here in the DC Metropolitan area. By collaborating with 40 student organizations and departments from around campus, we were able to register 435 students and raise $10,700 for Whitman-Walker Clinic. This was the largest team that Mason has ever put together in over 20 years of participating in this event!
This was an outstanding accomplishment, and something that we can all be very proud of. Thanks to a generous gift from Parking & Transportation, we were able to run five Mason-to-Metro shuttles just for AIDS Walk participants morning of the event. Mason was the 2nd largest university participating in AIDS Walk this year, and was one of the most visible teams present during the event.
Psi Chi was able to get enough participation to get our organization name printed on the Mason Shirts. special thanks to Blake Silver for designing the Mason t-shirts and helping to organize the team. Another thanks goes to Heather Hare and CLCE for sponsoring the event and supporting us throughout the process.
We had a very successful and strong team this year, and this is something that the Mason community can definitely be proud of!
