In Memoriam
Friend, supporter and Board member, Tim Stein, passed away suddenly in December of 2022. In addition to his numerous accomplishments, he was a proud advocate for HIV services and causes that were important to him. Team Wayne's World, in honor of Tim's late partner Wayne Fette, was an AIDS Walk tradition for many years. This year, Tim's friends and loved ones have come together to keep that tradition going, and we are honored to dedicate this year's Walk to Tim & Wayne, and their incredible contributions to the community.
