This special screening will contribute 100% of earnings to the 2008 AIDS Lifecycle Ride beneficiaries. During this seven-day endurance event, 2500 dedicated individuals will ride over 500 miles between San Francisco and LA to raise money and awareness for all those who have been affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
A great, uplifting, bike-centric film, funky beats before and after plus a special surprise guest speaker will make this a worthwhile evening for the bicycle enthusiast, cineaste or anyone looking to earn a few additional good karma points while having a great time!
Event admission is on a sliding scale but there will be a very special bonus door prize to those who donate
$10 or more.
AIDS/LifeCycle …
…. will take place June 1-7, 2008, as cyclists and volunteers will travel 545 miles through beautiful California from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
… is the official cycling event of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center.
… is about HIV/AIDS and raising money to help the beneficiaries continue to provide the critical services and education needed to meet the growing needs of our community.
… increases awareness and knowledge about HIV/AIDS among participants, their donors and the general public.
… addresses the widespread misperception that HIV and AIDS are no longer a problem — in fact more people are living with HIV & AIDS today than ever before, which means a much greater need for services.
One of many fields along the route…. provides a reminder that the rate of HIV infection is increasing, particularly in communities of color and in individuals under the age of 25. In California alone there are 60,000 people living with AIDS, and another estimated 91,000 living with HIV, many unaware of their infection.
As the number of people living with HIV increases, so does the need for the services provided by the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center, the two agencies producing the ride.
AIDS/LifeCycle is the only AIDS fundraising bicycle event in California organized by the non-profit agencies that will benefit from the money raised by its participants. Our sole concern is providing critical services to people living with HIV and AIDS. Your support and commitment is pivotal to our success. The monies you contribute will allow us to provide these critical services.
