The Ride for AIDS Chicago (RFAC)—an
annual two-day, 200-mile bicycling fundraiser scheduled this year for July 13
and 14—is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2013. Richard Cordova, director
of athletic events for Test Positive Aware Network (TPAN), which produces the
ride, says organizers hope to raise $751,000 this year, with 316 riders and 102
crew members.
Overall, RFAC has raised more than
$1.5 million in support of HIV services in Chicago. Registration for the 2013
RFAC began last September, but marketing begins in earnest in January. This
year, TPAN has added a fundraising incentive program as an enticement for
participants. RFAC has planned a kickoff party for the 2013 ride on January 27,
from 4:00 to7:00 p.m. at Diversey River Bowl, 2211 W. Diversey Avenue, Chicago.
