Ça Marche 2011

“Together, we can do it!”

Farha Foundation’s ÇA MARCHE 2011 Campaign comes to a close and brings in $350,000 for Quebec’s HIV/AIDS organizations.

The Farha Foundation, Quebec’s leading HIV/AIDS fundraising organization, would like to thank everyone who took part in the 19th annual ÇA MARCHE campaign. On September 18, 2011, some 4,500 people walked through the streets of downtown Montreal to help in the fight against HIV/AIDS. The campaign came to a close on December 1, 2011, World AIDS Day. The Foundation raised nearly $350,000, which represents 87% of the $400,000 goal. Donations will be given to this year’s 42 participating organizations.

“Together, we did it!”, said Linda Farha, spokesperson for the Foundation. “Participants were entertained with great performances and enjoyed the beautiful weather as they came together in the streets of downtown Montreal in support of the cause. The fight against AIDS is far from over and we still have a lot of work to do to create awareness in our community, especially among our youth.”

The Foundation will continue its work and looks forward to a special 20^th edition next year, as the Foundation will mark its 20^th year in the fight against AIDS. “My late brother would be so proud to see how much his Foundation has grown”, insists Ms. Farha. “20 years of giving to people living with HIV/AIDS is exceptional, and we will continue this fight for as long as AIDS exists!”
