AIDS/LifeCycle 3

AIDS/LifeCycle completed its third successful year with 1,200 cyclists and 367 roadies making the seven-day journey through California. This year's event raised 4.9 million dollars to support the HIV/AIDS services at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center.

"This was another remarkable year," noted Stephen Cadby, AIDS/ LifeCycle Associate Director. "We saw our registrations grow by 25% and we are already off to a fast start for AIDS/LifeCycle 4."

AIDS/LifeCycle's growth is attracting the attention and support of many in the business community. Among these are new Platinum Sponsors 24 Hour Fitness and CBS 5/UPN Bay Area 44, who have joined with our Presenting Sponsor, Subaru, in helping promote and underwrite costs of the event.

AIDS/LifeCycle also has benefited from growing sponsorship relationships with many local businesses, including notables such as Joie de Vivre Hotels, Sports Basement and UCSF Medical Center. And, for the third year in a row, our gracious host for opening ceremonies was the University of San Francisco. Local merchants have also shown support in multiple ways, such as hosting cycling workshops that help participants prepare for their 585-mile journey.

The continued growth of AIDS/LifeCycle depends on the high visibility of our event and our enhanced relationship with a variety of corporations offers us a visibility beyond the grassroots efforts that began the event in 2002.

We are presently taking registrations for AIDSLifeCycle 4, which will take place June 5 -- 11, 2005. We invite you to sign up early for this event. Regardless of your age or physical ability, this event is for you. We will assist you every step of the way and will help you have the experience of a lifetime!
