Out & Equal Tampa Bay Supports the Tampa Bay Red Ribbon Run

This year’s event will be held in Tampa, Florida’s Lowry Park Zoo on World AIDS Day, Thursday evening December 1st.  Tampa, Florida is the home office location for both The AIDS Institute and the MetroWellness and Community Centers.

It is important to note that Florida alone has 40% of the entire nation’s AIDS Drug Assistance Program waiting list patients. These waiting lists mean:

• Even though life-saving medications area available, these ill and poor are denied their medications due to the lack of money by our states’ safety-net programs.
• Of the nearly 10,000 people throughout America on this waiting list, almost 4,000 reside in Florida.

This event helps us put a spotlight on this critically important problem and helps us fund solutions to save our friends’ and neighbors’ lives!
