Harbor to the Bay, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization incorporated in the state of Massachusetts. It's members are local men and women, participants in past AIDS bicycle fundraising events, and friends committed to the delivery of 100% of rider-received pledges to beneficiaries that support HIV and AIDS care throughout Massachusetts.
Launched in 2003, Harbor to the Bay (H2B) has raised nearly $1,500,000 for four local HIV/AIDS organizations; Fenway Health Center, AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod, Community Research Initiative (CRI), and AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts (AAC). With 100% of all rider-received pledges going directly to these beneficiaries, H2B's enthusiasm and grass-roots focus has resonated with local supporters and community members.
H2B endeavors to improve community awareness of HIV/AIDS care and services, prevent infection, and engage people impacted by HIV/AIDS. Further, by responsibly and strategically executing the ride, H2B appeals to individuals’ and businesses’ desire to make a difference through donations and social responsibility.
Going forward, H2B would like to expand their fund-raising abilities through increased community participation and partnerships with for-profit businesses. Through their commitment to donate 100% of rider-received pledges, H2B hopes to build the trust of fiscally discerning donors who expect transparency and accountability from the charities they support.
