Lets Rock the Walk!
Attracting more than 10,000 walkers annually to the streets of downtown Montreal. The Farha Foundation’s ÇA MARCHE is the largest HIV / AIDS fundraising event in Québec.
During last year’s Ça Marche campaign, ACCM’s amazingly dedicated walkers helped us raise more than 25 thousand dollars, maintaining our three-year reign of being the highest fundraising AIDS service organization in Quebec!
This incredible accomplishment is a testimony to the dedication and support of our entire membership (staff, clients, and volunteers.) The funding that ACCM gains through Ça Marche allows us to maintain and develop our numerous services and activities that work to counter the effects of HIV/AIDS.
As proud as we are of our past success, we can’t afford to decrease our efforts. Funding is always uncertain, and we need you now more than ever. This year, we’ve set our sights higher with a goal of $35,000. It sounds like a lot, but with your help, we can do it. As someone I never met once said: “…playing small does not serve the world”. Nor does it serve the community, where silence has rarely done much good.
Walk with ACCM on September 20th or
BETTER YET: CREATE YOUR OWN ÇA MARCHE TEAM!
Be a part of the thousands of people that fill the streets of downtown Montreal and help us send the message that the fight against AIDS/HIV is not over. Not here, not anywhere. Up to 20,000 people are living with HIV in Quebec today, and that number is rising.
Registering to become a walker (on your own or part of a team) or to make a donation, only takes a few minutes.

It is OUR light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talentedActually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world Marianne Williamson/ sometimes incorrectly attributed to Nelson Mandela
