Tacoma Atheists among $1000+ fundraisers for Pierce County AIDS Foundation

For the third year in a row, atheists in Tacoma rallied to raise funds for the Pierce County AIDS Foundation at the annual AIDS Walk.  This year, the Tacoma Atheist team raised over $1000 and was among the top 10 fundraising teams!  We unfurled our banner, proclaiming our motto, along with health organizations like Planned Parenthood and Group Health; college teams from UPS, PLU, UWT, and others; several church groups; Tacoma fixtures like the Broadway Center for the Performing Arts and Russell Investments; and other affinity groups like ours.  Some folks came and posed for pictures with the banner while and others cheered us on.  We received not one sarcastic “blessing” nor negative comment!

If you saw us at the AIDS Walk and are visiting the webpage for the first time, please also check out our Facebook page and our Meetup.com site for info, discussion, pics, and events.  That means YOU, young lady from the nacent Secular Student Union at UPS!!!
