About the Beneficiaries

We are a consortium of New Jersey’s largest and most active AIDS service organizations and community action networks. Our beneficiaries work everyday to improve the lives of nearly 40,000 New Jersey residents living with HIV/AIDS.  

Each year, on the first Sunday in May, thousands of people walk in solidarity throughout the state of New Jersey to join our beneficiaries in the fight against HIV/AIDS.  This coordinated effort is designed to raise awareness that AIDS is still a major healthcare issue in our state, as well as raise funds to help support the efforts of the participating HIV/AIDS service organizations.  The funds we raise comprise large portions of the programming budgets for our beneficiaries. They rely on the financial support of the New Jersey AIDS Walk to save lives.
