The Climb Up So Kids Can Grow Up 2008 event was once again a BIG success! Teams and individuals from around the world climbed, ran, walked and cycled for a common cause: to help children with HIV/AIDS.
Together, they raised over $23,500!
All funds raised benefit the American Foundation for Children with AIDS. AFCA provides life-saving medicine, supplies and food to children in Kenya, Uganda and Zimbabwe who have been infected with HIV/AIDS.
On behalf of the children served by AFCA, the board of directors, staff and volunteers of AFCA - THANK YOU to all sponsors and participants in Climb Up So Kids Can Grow Up 2008.
