To Our SMART Ride Community:
The Joy Ride is happening!
When The SMART Ride announced it would end in 2023, no one expected there would be a new ride to take its place in 2024. When the decision to move forward was made in February by the benefitting agencies, we knew that the challenge would be difficult. We are excited to say we have faced those challenges and are confident in our ability to execute The Joy Ride on November 22-23, 2024.
The one area we cannot control is you.
Whether you have made other plans, retired after The SMART Ride, or were waiting to see if we could pull of The Joy Ride in such a short window of time, we still need you to be successful.
Our community needs your support.
Your support covers so much more than HIV prevention, treatment, and care—your support helps our agencies provide basic needs to our community, including the funding of programs and services for case management, housing, mental health, substance use treatment, and so much more.
We need your help to keep this legacy going.
We are continuing the work started 20 years ago by Glen and The SMART Ride. The 100% guarantee means we are not allowed to spend any of the money raised by participants on the production of this event. There is room for everyone to play a part, no matter how small.
