❤️ 40 Years. One Community. Still Walking. 👟

For decades, our community has shown up with courage, compassion, and commitment—and now it’s your turn.

On July 19, join us for the 40th Anniversary of AIDS Walk San Francisco—a powerful day of remembrance, resilience, and action. This isn’t just a walk—it’s a movement to honor lives, celebrate progress, and help end the HIV epidemic.

💥 Our goal: $20,000 to support HIV prevention, care, and mental health services.

✨ As a proud co-beneficiary, AHP saw 100% of funds raised returned to teams in 2025—plus additional grants. Let’s do it again—and go even further.

Because of this community, lives have been saved. Stigma has been challenged. Hope continues to grow.

👉 Sign up today. Join the Alliance Health Project team.(🔗Link in bio)
Walk with us. Fundraise with us. Make an impact.

Let’s make history—together.

"This long-exposure night photograph—a battered vintage trailer set against a desert landscape—is by Manu and Greta Schnetzler, longtime and much-loved contributors to Art for AIDS. Printed on metal at 36” x 48”, it has a quiet, luminous presence that draws you in. Look closely and you can see how the long exposure captures the earth’s movement as the stars appear to shift overhead.

I first saw it years ago in the Art for AIDS Live Auction. A spirited bidding war broke out, and the price quickly climbed well beyond its retail value. That was the moment it captured my heart—but there was no way I could follow it there.

Years later, when I retired from UCSF Alliance Health Project, my coworkers surprised me in the most generous way—they purchased a print directly from the Schnetzlers. Manu Schnetzler hung it in my flat.

Now it hangs in my dining area, and every time I pass it, I’m reminded not just of the image itself, but of the community behind it.

I’m also fortunate to have a Diane Hoffman sculpture form the Misfit Auction and DK Haas encaustic bird print, lower right.

That’s what makes Art for AIDS so special—art that stays with you, and a community that shows up for one another."
