MLUC Youth at the Philly AIDS Walk

On Sunday, October 16, twenty-five youth members of MLUC, along with three advisors and four parents, participated in the Philadelphia AIDS Walk, which supports HIV/AIDS education, prevention, and services in the Delaware Valley. The Philadelphia AIDS Walk has been helping this cause for twenty-five years, and currently, thirty partner organizations are receiving funding as a result.

MLUC can be proud that our youth members are putting their faith into action, and taking steps to further social justice in their community. According to early reports, the MLUC team raised $5,000!

Justin MacDonald was the top-hat-wearing, top-fundraising youth, with $380 in donations. Kaitlin Hatch was the Junior Youth Group winner, and second place overall, with over $300 in donations. Lynn Yue, a parent chaperone, also deserves special mention for raising $600, which will be doubled by her company! Thank you to everyone who made this event such a huge success!
