DALLAS - A Sister’s Gift is holding its third annual 2K run on Sept. 8 in Reverchon Park in Dallas. The nonprofit organization was founded in memory of Ronald D. Lewis, the brother of Edwards said the agency provides 11 different core services, ranging from HIV testing and education to case management, support services and emergency assistance for women and youth. “We organized the walk to raise money but also to increase awareness so that more women can access our services,” Edwards said. “Women are not being tested because they are unaware of their risk factors.” Registration is $15. The walk is from 8 a.m.-11 a.m., and includes additional activities such as face painting, jazz music, vocal artists, dance teams and other family-oriented events. Deneen Robinson, a board member for the organization, said businesses are welcome to participate in the walk and bring their company banners as advertisement. This year’s goal is 320 participants, double from 2006, Edward said. For more information, contact Edwards at 214-421-4274 or
