CAES forms AIDS walk team

The Center for Advanced Educational Services invites members of the MIT community to join its team for the annual AIDS walk along the Charles River Sunday, June 2.


People interested in walking with the CAES team (Team #2097) are asked to register by May 22 by contacting Deirdre Dow-Chase at deedc@mit.edu and clicking here. CAES will provide team T-shirts.


The 10-kilometer (6.2 mile) walk along the river draws thousands of walkers each year who raise money for AIDS patients care and research. The walk starts at 10 a.m. and ends about 12:30 p.m. Food and water are provided along the route and prizes are given out at the finish line.
