Pride Stride through Center City! We are hoping that all the walkers get a better sense of the many LGBT-friendly health care resources available in our great city. Ideally, the group would spend 5-10 minutes at each agency hearing an overview of services, talking to the administrator and receiving any handouts/freebies; there are nine agencies participating. We hope that you will join us after Pride Stride for a short reception with food and drink on the 2nd floor of William Way. A "rough" timeline for this Thursday: 6PM - Pride Stride participants gather at Washington West Project (1201 Locust St.) where they get a description of the partnership, services, 6:15 - We arrive at 1201 Chestnut Street for stops at Mazzoni Center and COLOURS; 6:30 - Hello AIDS Law Project of PA and SafeGuards!; 6:45 - It's back into the night as we traipse along 13th Street to visit our friends at Philadelphia FIGHT/AIDS Library, CHOICE, and the AIDS Fund; 7:10 - It's the home stretch! We will walk over to the William Way Center for a brief description of its many offerings before enjoying a delicious sandwich spread and prize giveaways.
