The time of the year is here again! Please support ACAS by becoming a runner, walker, donor or volunteer for this year’s Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon,Half Marathon and 5k! The event will take place on Sunday, October 14, 2012.
With the amazing support from the runners, walkers, volunteers and donors last year, ACAS met its Scotiabank Marathon fundraising target of $15,000 last year, enabling us to provide the much needed services for persons living with HIV/AIDS of East and Southeast Asian heritage. This year, we have increased our fundraising goal to $20,000, so please start spreading the word around!
