"AFC works every day to create justice and change for communities in Chicagoland," said Madeline Miley, AFC's director of special events and initiatives. "We call on Chicago to show up and show out for this year's event and be loud and proud in their support of the collaborative efforts to get to zero by 2030 and push for legislation that uplifts our communities and creates more equitable opportunities for leaders on the frontlines.
AFC reinforces its commitment through the "CommunityDirect" program. More than 25 community-based organizations will receive up to 92% of the funds raised through ARWC as unrestricted funding. To-date, AFC has returned more than $300,000 to communities through the CommunityDirect program.Since its inception, more than 24,500 participants have converged to get moving against HIV/AIDS, raising $6 million to battle the HIV epidemic.
