The SMART Ride 8 Completes Journey!
Over $675,724.00 Raised!!!
The SMART Ride 8 (The Southernmost AIDS/HIV Ride) rode into town on Saturday, November 19, 2011. Key West was the terminus of the two-day, 165-mile ride from Miami to raise money and awareness for HIV/AIDS.
The ride has raised over $3.2 million dollars in its eight year history benefiting various AIDS service organizations throughout the state of Florida, including AIDS Help in Monroe County. This is the only ride of its kind in the country where 100% of what the individual riders and crew raise goes directly to the agencies who receive the proceeds.
The participants began arriving in Key West around 10am and assembled at the Key West High School for lunch. Bourbon Street Pub, 801 Bourbon Bar, New Orleans House, Pizza Joe’s and Sysco will host the meal. Around 1:45 p.m. riders and crew assembled for a “victory ride” led by a Conch Tour Train through the streets of Old Town, arriving at the AIDS Memorial at the White Street Pier for Closing Ceremonies.
