Welcome to Cycle for the Cause 2024!
Welcome everyone—we are so thrilled to have you join us on our 30th Annual Northeast AIDS ride! We are so grateful to Cycle participants old and new for coming together on this journey to support those living with HIV/AIDS every day. The Center simply could not provide our HIV/ AIDS programs and services without the funds raised from all of your hard work.

That said, fundraising is often strongest during the Ride itself, so let’s keep the momentum going and make this our best year yet! Remind your friends and family that they can still give by posting your progress on social media over the weekend. Be sure to shout out the Ride by including #cycleforthecause, #EndAIDS, #C4C2024 and tagging Cycle for the Cause @cycleforthecause and The Center @lgbtcenternyc. We hope that this year’s Ride will leave you with friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
