We at the AIDS Coalition of Cape Breton would like to thank all who participated, donated and /or volunteered for the AIDS Walk for Life 2009. As you know, nothing gets done on its own and we offer a special thank you to Cecil Reid who glued it together. This year we raised approximately $3,600 toward our PHA Health Fund which helps our clients with incidentals such as grooming supplies, eyeglasses and trips to medical appointments in Halifax. On behalf of staff and clients alike, thank you for your kind support. The Staff and Clients of ACCB & SANE. |
