Thanks to our Basementeers we were able to give over $11,000 to AIDS/LifeCycle in 2022!

 
These funds support San Francisco AIDS Foundation which promotes health, wellness, and social justice for communities most impacted by HIV through sexual health and substance use services, advocacy, and community partnerships.

The Foundation envisions a future where health justice is achieved for all people living with or at risk for HIV, ultimately striving for a day when race is not a barrier to health and wellness, substance use is not stigmatized, HIV status does not determine quality of life, and HIV transmission is eliminated.

About AIDS/LifeCycle

 
By being a part of AIDS/LifeCycle, you will help us work towards the following: Fund the work of San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles LGBT Center to provide free HIV/AIDS medical care, testing, and prevention services. Raise awareness to end the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS. Provide a positive, life affirming experience for people affected by HIV/AIDS. Grow our community of activists, volunteers, and ambassadors fighting to end AIDS. Honor those who have passed from AIDS-related causes.

 
AIDS/LifeCycle is a 7 day, 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles, co-produced by and benefiting San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles LGBT Center. We make sure that pedaling those miles is all you have to focus on – our teams take care of the rest. Throughout the year, we’ll have opportunities and events to help you train, fundraise, and make it to the starting line with water in your bottles, air in your tires, and everything else you need to be ready for the Ride. The event raises awareness about the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic and funds services such as HIV testing, prevention, care, and much more.
 
Since 1993, when the Ride began as a for-profit event called “California AIDS Ride”, participants have raised more than $220 million and completed more than 42,000 journeys on bikes from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
 
Despite remarkable progress that has been made since the disease was first discovered in 1981, the HIV/AIDS epidemic is far from over. In the seven days it takes AIDS/LifeCycle to reach Los Angeles, more than 650 people in the United States will become infected with HIV.
