On Friday, October 16th Cascade AIDS Project (CAP) will commemorate National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD). NLAAD was established in 2003 to draw attention to the critical role HIV testing, prevention and education play in stemming the spread of HIV/AIDS among Hispanics/Latinos.

Cascade AIDS Project (CAP) will host the fourth annual “Bat ‘n Rouge” softball tournament. The family-friendly tournament—featuring drag queens, music, and general hilarity—will take place 11 AM to 4 PM on July 26th at Erv Lind Stadium in Normandale Park. Bat ‘n Rouge will raise funds to help those impacted by HIV/AIDS.

Cascade AIDS Project (“CAP”) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded $1,750,000 over the next five years to deliver HIV prevention strategies to those at high risk for contracting HIV in our communities by the Center for Disease Control (“CDC”). While CAP is gratified to receive the award, it represents a significant cut ($500,000) as compared to our previous award.

In lead up to National HIV Testing day this Saturday, CAP is teaming with Walgreens and Greater Than AIDS, a leading national public information response to the domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic, to encourage community members to know their HIV status and take advantage of free HIV testing at Walgreens in North Portland, OR (2829 N. Lombard St.) during a three-day period.
