Heat Up Your Summer With the Buffalo Wings!

560 MILES: NIAGARA FALLS TO NEW YORK CITY.
ONE WEEK THAT'S GUARANTEED TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

For the fifth year in a row, AIDS Community Services is a beneficiary agency of the Empire State AIDS Ride. Each year, hundreds of enthusiastic bikers from across the United States ride 560 miles in 7 days to raise funds for HIV/AIDS services. There are three New York State HIV/AIDS service providers who are beneficiaries of the ride: ACS, AIDS Rochester and AIDS Family Resources in Syracuse.

The Buffalo Wings are the official team of AIDS Community Services. The Buffalo Wings began modestly in 2005 with just 6 riders and raised nearly $40,000. In 2006 our team of 12 raised over $100,000. In 2007, our team of 9 raised more than $60,000. Last year, our team of 7 raised $41,000. This year, our goal is to recruit 20 riders and raise at least $75,000!

The Buffalo Wings have group training rides and social gatherings, group fundraisers that benefit the whole team, a gorgeous team jersey that we give each member, and much more. Our team includes some of the fastest cyclists on the ride, as well as some folks who come into camp at the very end each night. So, whatever your cycling ability, you will not cross the state alone. Our enthusiastic volunteers provide a SAG van that will keep you stocked with water, Gatorade, snacks and good cheer.

This year, the ride takes place from August 16 - 22. For more information on the Ride, contact Kim Luangpakdy at 716-847-0340 ext. 315; or at kluangpakdy@aidscommunityservices.com. To register, visit http://www.empirestateaidsride.org/, and be sure to register as a member of the Buffalo Wings!
