The Weekend That Was; The Week Ahead
by indypride on Oct.13, 2008, under Gay Life in Indy, General Pride News
This past Saturday was Indiana AIDS Walk, and I am happy to report that Team Indy Pride/Talbott Street raised a grand total of $5,659.50! We ended up coming in second to the mega huge Team GMCI (Greg’s, Metro, The Club, and English Ivy’s), but since it was all for a good cause, we’re not going to be too down about it. I want to give a shout out to everyone who donated and helped us beat our goal!
