AIDS Walk
This is a walk-a-thon sponsored by Open Circle to raise money for various non-profit organizations that care for people living with AIDS or that provide education in order to prevent the spread of the disease. It is the largest, single fund-raising activity for many of these organizations. A couple of thousand individuals participate in this walk each year. Many people participate as part of a team from a church, business, social organization, etc. Our church has had a team participate for the last seven years.

Interfaith Care Alliance
UBC members participate with other University-area congregations (UPC & UUMC) as a Care Team which is paired with several individuals in the community who have terminal or serious illnesses and are in need of friendly care and support. Also, ICA uses volunteers through Connections-a program to provide transportation to medical and social service appointments to those living with HIV/AIDS, especially under served populations who have experienced barriers to those services. Training by ICA professionals is provided to all volunteers prior to service.
