Extremely awesome moves!
Says Sarah Odell, Fundraising & Events Coordinator:
I remember jumping to the left on De Maisonneuve and doing the pelvic thrust on Ste. Catherine, shouting out for sex ed in our schools on St. Hubert and walking, dancing and ‘time warping’ on the streets of Montreal with thousands of people who want to raise awareness and prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS.
Our team!
We have already raised $12,800 and the campaign continues until December 1 (World AIDS day). Help us make 2010 (Our 40th anniversary!!) our biggest fundraising effort to date by contributing to our online campaign here!

Joignez ou appuyez L’Équipe À deux mains/Head & Hands. Nous sommes entrain de former une équipe de danse de rue ludique pour Ça Marche 2010! Ça Marche, une initiative de la Fondation Farha, est le plus grand évènement de sensibilisation sur le VIH/SIDA au Québec. Dimanche, le 19 septembre, venez danser et marcher avec nous afin de faire la levée de fonds pour le Projet sens, une initiative d’À deux mains qui a pour but de réintroduire l’éducation sexuelle dans les écoles secondaires montréalaises et de réduire les taux du VIH/SIDA parmi les jeunes de notre ville. Si vous ne pouvez pas nous joindre en marchant, vous pouvez quand-même faire un don en ligne dès maintenant avec une carte de crédit au http://my.e2rm.com/TeamPage.aspx?teamID=167260&langPref=en-CA (il ne faut que suivre le lien « Commanditer l’équipe »). C’est également possible de nous envoyer un chèque ou venir nous visiter au 5833 Sherbrooke Ouest !
Chaque don – soit de 5 $, 20 $, ou 50 $ - est une expression de votre appui d’un programme d’éducation sexuelle accessible, intelligent, et dirigé par des jeunes. L’éducation sexuelle : ça fait du sens !
