Some dinner tables don't see any action. It's sad, but true. So for this year's World AIDS Day, it's time for yours to get laid. And all for a good cause with help from the Queensland World AIDS Day Alliance.

 

Simply gather a bunch of your nearest and dearest and host a RED themed dinner party! 

 

Contact wad@qpp.org.au for more information.

An intrinsic part of World AIDS Day activities is the Candlelight Vigil. Held from 6.45pm on Sunday, 1 December at Captain Burke Park Kangaroo Point. This important event is an opportunity for us to stop and remember all those we have loved and lost since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. 

​

This event is open to all - admission is free and bookings are not required. 

Join us for a 5km fun run along at any of the following parkrun groups on Saturday 30 November :

​

.  New Farm Park parkrun

.  Rocks Riverside (Seventeen Mile Rocks)

.  White Rock parkrun (Redbank Plains)

.  St Lucia parkrun

​

The RED Run is FREE and open to everyone, runners and non-runners, children and even your furry friends. All participants are invited to dress in RED (the redder the better). 

​

The event will commence at 7am at all parkrun locations.  

 

All runners and volunteers must register at www.parkrun.com.au/register

 

Please note: Bring your printed barcode on the day.

From 25 November be sure to look up and around your city as iconic landmarks around Queensland will turn RED for World AIDS Day.

 

If you see one, snap a pic and send it to wad@qpp.org.au - we'd love to see them!

Whatever you decide to do on World AIDS Day, we all like to look good. So why not pick out a red number out of your closet, and make advocacy a part of your wardobe. You could even frock up in red for your dinner party. Either way, when someone comments on how fabulous you look you'll have an opportunity to tell them all about World AIDS Day and what you're doing to support it.
