Ride for AIDS Chicago is a two-day, 180-mile, bicycling produced by Test Positive Aware Network to raise funds for HIV/AIDS services in the Chicago Area.
Each rider is asked to raise a minimum of $1,000, and crew members are asked to raise a minimum of $500 in pledges to participate. After six years, we're dedicated to keeping the Ride for AIDS Chicago a successful fundraising event, and committed to returning 100% of the donations to ride beneficiaries:
Test Positive Aware Network
About Face Theatre
AIDS Foundation of Chicago
Better Existence with HIV
South Side Help Center
Vital Bridges.
The ride journeys from Evanston, IL into southern Wisconsin. We'll start off from the city and soon after find a route of shaded bike paths and country roads. After arriving at camp, you may opt for a refreshing hot shower or a cool dip in the lake. Later, you'll enjoy a delicious hot meal. This will be followed by an evening of star-gazing or making smore’s 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.
