New patients are always welcome.
Cascade AIDS Project has undergone
some serious changes in the past year. The
nonprofit brought on a new executive direc
tor in Michael Kaplan and public policy
coordinator in B.J. Cavnor, moved to brand
new offices on SW Fifth, added new hous
ing opportunities for people with AIDS,
and is strengthening efforts to engage com
munities of color. Coupled with an overall
expansion of the organization’s HIV test
ing programs, the folks at CAP have been
working hard.
Now they need your help.
On October 11, CAP will hold its 23rd
AIDS Walk Portland, with the goal of
raising $325,000 for HIV/AIDS services,
education and outreach to youth and adults
most at risk of contracting HIV. An esti
mated 10,000 people are anticipated at Pio
neer Courthouse Square to show support.
Kaplan explained that last year’s walk
experienced the first financial decrease in
the history of the event, due to the Septem
ber market crash.
“Last year’s AIDS Walk actually came
$50,000 under budget,” he said. “It was the
first sign for us of a bad economy.”
But the clouds appear to be clearing for
CAP and Kaplan, as high-level sponsors
have already begun signing on, including
the event’s first presenting sponsor, The
Standard, a Portland insurance, retirement
and investments company. Sponsorship
revenue has doubled from last year, and a
recent sign-on from Nike is also expected to
help CAP reach its financial goal.
“There’s some energy built that we didn’t
Have last year, and I think that’s great,” said
Kaplan.
AIDS Walk Portland 2009 will have
two honorary co-chairs: Multnomah Board
of County Commissioners Chairman Ted
Wheeler and his wife, Katrina.
CAP also plans to launch a challenge in
the gay community to encourage Portland
bars to organize the largest walking teams
and raise the most money. In return, the
winning bar will host the after-party event.
Departure Restaurant, located on the top
floor of The Nines hotel, will host the VIP
breakfast on the day of the walk for those
who raise $1,000 or more.
“The big deal for us is, I think we bot
tomed out in 2008,” said Kaplan. “It was
our first year decrease, and we’re seeing a
turnaround already in terms of the new
high-level sponsors coming on and in terms
of the energy behind it.”
You can do your part by sponsoring a
walker, or becoming one yourself. Visit
