Charity Bike Ride to Raise HIV Awareness

On August 16, 2009, Brother to Brother Sister to Sister United, Inc. (BBSU) will host its second annual 'One Day. One Ride. One Cause.' a 1-day, 40-mile charity ride through the neiborhoods of the District of Columbia.

The event is intended to bring awareness to the AIDS crisis in the DC community and establish resources through which to fight it. The event’s planners hope to foster education regarding H.I.V. in the local community and raise funds to benefit DC’s HIV positive community.

Last year’s inaugural ride raised $13,000.

One Day, One Ride, One Cause- August 17

On August 17, 2008, the One Day, One Ride, One Cause charity bike ride will travel throughout the 8 Wards of the District of Columbia to raise awareness and funds to combat HIV / AIDS in the community.

All funds raised or donated by riders go directly to the beneficiaries which are: Building Futures, Children's National Medical Center Teen Life Clubs, Damien Ministries, Food and Friends, MCC-DC Wellness Center, Metro Teen AIDS, Pediatric AIDS/HIV Care, and RISE.

The Ride is being organized by Brother to Brother, Sister to Sister United (BBSSU) with the support of many other groups.
