High School Challenge!

AIDS Walk is a signature fund raiser for Cascade AIDS Project, raising 10% of the budget- we are inviting high school students to participate and raise money for their school!

Because of recent legislation, many Oregon schools need to perform an overhaul to bring them up to the wonderful new comprehensive sexuality education standards. Unfortunately, there has not been any money apportioned for this. This is an opportunity for the community to step in and help schools realize the vision set forth in the law. The Challenge engages students, getting them involved in educating and raising awareness about HIV/AIDS, while helping to raise money for CAP and for schools' sex ed programs.

How it works:
To participate in the High School Challenge, a Team Captain must register and set up a team for their school. Once the team is set up, any student may join, and raise funds to count towards their goal. Walkers register online at the AIDS Walk website or by calling 503.223.WALK. After registering, they join their school's team and start raising funds! High Schools that raise $500 or more get to keep half of that money to re-vamp their school’s sex ed programs.

School Teams formed:

• Benson Polytechnic
• David Douglas
  
• Franklin
• Grant
  
• Gresham
• Lincoln
• Parkrose
• Wilson
