In just a few days, Belleville will host the 8th Annual Rotary Trump AIDS Poker Walk.
The Walk was originally created in 2007 by members of the Rotary Club of Belleville, Ontario, including Call-A-Geek's Chief Geek, Kerry Paul.
It continues to be held each spring in Belleville and in 2010, the Walk was started in Toronto. By 2011 the Toronto walk involved over 24 Rotary Clubs, 3 Rotaract clubs, Anglican churches and 8 HIV/AIDS organizations. The past eight years have seen overwhelming support from the community, hours of volunteer time by Rotarians, gifts-in-kind by many of their businesses, and generous corporate sponsors.
More than $490,000 has already been raised by the two Trump AIDS Poker Walks and put to work preventing and relieving the searing impact of AIDS on women, children, and men. This year, with your help, we can greatly increase that amount.
All pledges raised support local and international community service projects with 0% of donations deducted for administration costs.
Support the Rotary Club of Belleville’s Trump Aids Poker walk and get your money back in free service.
Your support and donation will:
Help save children’s lives by blocking transmission from mother to child at birth - for the price of a coffee in Canada.
Help save their future by supporting aging grandmothers, desperate relatives, orphanages and schools struggling to raise millions of orphans with insufficient food, water, shelter and clothing.
Help take orphaned girls, many still pre-teens, out of the bordellos, off the street corners and away from HIV/AIDS by providing an alternative means of survival for them and the young siblings they're trying to raise.
Educate: Help community workers and survivors spread the word in their villages about what HIV/AIDS really is, how it's transmitted, how to protect against it and what to do to stay alive.
Treat the sick: Provide ARV treatments, beginning with children, mothers, teachers, caregivers, community leaders - and basic palliative care for the dying when ARV's are unaffordable or unavailable.
... and much more.
Make a donation of $20 or $50 and Call-A-Geek will credit you the amount for a future service call. One donation credit per household and donation must be made by 11:59pm on April 25, 2014 and must be made by clicking here:
