| Grey skies, wind and wet weather didn’t dampen the spirits or the enthusiasm of the nearly 300 riders and 200 crew members who participated in the Harbor to the Bay Ride on Saturday, September 12, 2009. In its seventh year, the Ride donates 100% of its proceeds to support HIV/AIDS programs and services at four area agencies, including Fenway Health.
The Harbor to the Bay Ride is made possible each year because a core group of dedicated individuals, under the leadership of Harbor to the Bay President and Director Jim Morgrage, volunteer their time and their sweat to make it happen. So far, Harbor to the Bay has raised more than $1.5 million and distributed every penny to its beneficiaries. Few volunteer-driven fundraising events can point to such a successful track record.
This year, 40 riders and 35 crew members dedicated their efforts to Fenway Health, ensuring that all of the money they raised will help fund Fenway provide care and services to every HIV-positive person who comes through our doors, regardless of their ability to pay. Altogether, the 2009 Harbor to the Bay Ride raised more than $88,353 for Fenway. |
