Ascension Walks (and Gives) to End AIDS

Share This Post

This year the event takes place in Central Park on Sunday, May 19th. As her final major event as a 23-year-old — as well as her first public service duty as a baptized Christian — Zennie Trieu will be dedicating her 24th birthday to fundraising a $5,000+ goal for the annual AIDS Walk NY. She invites her fellow parishioners to join her and create Team Ascension. Sign-in begins at 8:30am on the morning of the walk, and the event ends around 1:30pm. This will, unfortunately, conflict with the morning services, but Zennie is definitely coming to the 7:00pm! She hopes to see you at both the walk and the evening service. Please visit ny.aidswalk.net/ascension to donate and for more information, or contact Zennie directly at zt333@nyu.edu.
