Legendary hip hop DJ and rapper DJ Spinderella, who rose to fame with the iconic rap group Salt-N-Pepa, will be joining AIDS Healthcare Foundation’s 20th year celebration of the Florida AIDS Walk & Music Festival sponsored by AHF Pharmacy at Fort Lauderdale Beach on Saturday March 15th. DJ Spinderella opened for Ricky Martin during AHF’s World AIDS Day Concert in Miami this past December.

AHF’s Florida AIDS Walk & Music Festival, an annual beachside 5k walk and concert, raised more than $3M in 2024 for local nonprofit AIDS Service Organizations (ASOs) serving people living with HIV in the South Florida region and is on track to match that benchmark again this year.

“We are excited to have DJ Spinderella’s talent on stage once again here in South Florida as we celebrate our 20th annual Florida AIDS Walk & Music Festival on March 15th,” said Tracy Jones, AHF Southern Bureau Chief. “Her commitment to safer sex awareness dates back decades, and her talent is timeless. In addition, as we celebrate 20 years of Florida AIDS Walk, we are proud to expand our beneficiaries this year to include organizations whose work is directly helping to address the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic in this community. Ending the HIV epidemic means meeting people where they are to get them the care they need in all the ways they need it most.”
