NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nashville CARES is thrilled to announce Leslie Jordan as Grand Marshal of the 30th Anniversary of the Nashville AIDS Walk. The Nashville AIDS Walk, presented by SGRX, is Tennessee’s oldest continuously running HIV/AIDS fundraiser and one of the city’s highest profile events.
Leslie Jordan is an actor, writer, and singer. He is best known for his roles as Lonnie Garr in Hearts Afire, Beverly Leslie in Will & Grace, several characters in the American Horror Story franchise, Sid in The Cool Kids and Phil in Call Me Kat. Leslie Jordan has a new album out called Company’s Comin’ available on vinyl/CD and across all streaming platforms.
The event will take place in a custom, virtual space that replicates Metro’s Public Square Park where the in-person event is typically held. Once inside this unique and interactive platform, attendees can enjoy live entertainment, visit walk teams throughout Nashville, interact at health vendor tents, participate in festival activities including prizes, awards and more! Other entertainment includes singer / songwriter Britteny Spencer.

Our Mission is to end the HIV epidemic in Middle Tennessee. We work to achieve this through education, advocacy and support for those at risk for or living with HIV.
