Dear Community Partner: For over 35 years Albany Area Primary Health Care has helped shape our community by providing quality health care for everyone. As a 501 3 non-profit Community Health Center, often our resources do not allow us to expand services in areas of great need. Without the assistance of community-minded individuals like you, we would not be able to continue the growth of our organization and expand the services we provide. By partnering together on community health initiatives, we build a stronger Southwest Georgia. Your support will not only help make these events successful, but memorable. The generosity of you or your company would serve as a testament to your commitment to citizens of Albany and surrounding areas. Support from community and corporate partners like you help keep our neighbors healthy and alive. You re also helping to create an AIDS-free generation. In a state that ranks 5th in the nation for new HIV/AIDS diagnoses and hundreds more are infected but don t know it, RUN FOR HOPE and DANCE FOR HOPE play vital roles in raising funds and awareness to fight the epidemic. If you don t see a sponsorship offering that is the right fit for you or your organization, call us and we will do everything we can to customize a package and make sure you don t miss being part of this important event!
