The Dignity/Washington and Dignity/Northern Virginia chapters raised $2,473 for the annual DC AIDS Walk, held Saturday, October 27, to benefit Whitman-Walker Health.

This year’s team ran in memory of Jim DePersis, a long-time Dignity/Washington member who for many years organized the Dignity/Washington AIDS Walk Team. Special thanks go out to Allen Rose, former Dignity/Washington President, and David Lamdin of Dignity/Northern Virginia for their leadership in guiding this year’s efforts.
