Every One Makes a Difference!
A two-day bike ride to fight HIV/AIDS in the Chicagoland
area.
Ready for the 2008 ride? It's June 7-8,
2008. Registration
is open! Register today!!
Ride for AIDS Chicago is a two-day, 180-mile,
bicycling event created by volunteers and designed
to raise needed monies for TPAN and BEHIV.
The ride leaves Evanston on Saturday morning on
the journey to Williams Bay, Wisconsin, on the
shores of Lake Geneva. We'll start off from the
city and soon after find a route of shaded bike
paths and country roads. After arriving in Williams
Bay, you may opt for a refreshing hot shower or
a cool dip in Lake Geneva. Later, you'll enjoy
a delicious hot meal. This will be followed by
an evening of star-gazing or making smores at
the campfire. You'll sleep in one of the many
cabins, waking up to a crisp Wisconsin morning
while a hot breakfast awaits you in the dining
hall.
Riders will return to Evanston on Sunday following
the winding roads of southeast Wisconsin and shaded
bicycle paths of northeast Illinois and then into
the city. Upon returning, family and friends will
welcome us home at a joyous closing ceremony.
Each rider is asked to raise a minimum of $1,000
in pledges to participate. There are no fundraising
requirements for Crew members, but don't let this
stop you from fundraising too.
We're completely grass roots and committed to
returning 100% of donations we receive to our
beneficiaries: Test Positive Aware Network (TPAN)
and Better Existence with HIV (BEHIV).. We did
it with the first four years of the ride, so we
have a pretty good track record. We are able to
do this by keeping costs down. Your registration
fee along with corporate sponsorship dollars covers
the expenses of doing the event.
Keep a lookout for our Ride Roundup. All previous
riders and crew will receive our newsletter
to keep you informed of what's going on with the
Ride. Also, we encourage you to keep us informed
about you! If you have had a change of e-mail,
mailing address or phone number, please call the
TPAN office at (773) 989-9400.
