Harbor to the Bay 2012!
Ride or crew with Team CRI at Harbor to the Bay's Tenth Anniversary Ride on September 15, 2012!
The one-day, 125-mile bike ride from Boston to Provincetown raises funds and awareness for four local HIV/AIDS organizations: CRI, Fenway Health, AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod, and AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts.
Launched in 2003, H2B has raised over $2 million for people living with HIV/AIDS. Thanks to the hard work of H2B organizers and volunteers, 100% of those donations go directly to the ride beneficiaries.
Visit the Harbor to the Bay website to register. Click “start” to begin your registration. Remember to select “TEAM CRI” from the “Choose a team” drop-down menu and “Community Research Initiative” from the “Beneficiary” drop-down menu.
