T.R. Knight and Sara Ramirez Attend AIDS Walk Los Angeles
October 23, 2007 by Ingrid Diaz
T.R. Knight and Sara Ramirez attended the 23rd annual AIDS Walk Los Angeles, which took place on October 21st. The event set fundraising and attendance records, raising more than $3.9 million for AIDS Project Los Angeles and other AIDS service organizations.
“The people of Los Angeles, including leading members of the entertainment community, once again showed their strong support for AIDS Project Los Angeles,” added Miller. “Together, we took to the streets to support people living with HIV/AIDS, and to fund the critical HIV prevention programs needed to stop new infections.”
“Grey’s Anatomy” star TR Knight urged young people to fight complacency and talk about HIV “whether they are gay or straight somewhere in between.” Old and new Hollywood met when Oscar® winner Shirley Jones introduced Tony® winner and “Dreamgirls” co-star Anika Noni Rose, who closed the ceremony and kicked-off the Walk with a haunting performance of “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” the AIDS Walk theme song. Jones performed the song in the 1956 movie version of “Carousel.”

Great idea … hope more actors (not only from Grey’s Anatomy) will follow.
