AIDS Hike for Life will take place on campus Sun. April 27by Eloise Walter '11With over 170,000 diagnosed individuals, New York has become the United States epicenter of AIDS. New York has more AIDS cases than any other state. The 10th Annual AIDS Hike for Life on April 27 is Hamilton's chance to help change this statistic. All proceeds from the 5K fundraising walk and run will help pay for youth HIV prevention programs, support services, and education in New York State.
