READY FOR 2024? WE’RE HITTING THE ROAD!
Things are going to look a little different this year! We’re going on tour, celebrating our riders in Kingston this year at the end of the Dress in Red Day of the Friends for Life Bike Rally. We’re looking forward to infusing fresh energy into our mission of supporting the Toronto PWA Foundation. This year, we celebrate our growth, from our humble beginnings at The 519 to the grandeur of Daniel’s Spectrum, and now, to Kingston, on the path to Montreal.
Mark your calendars for August 6, 2024, and join us for a spectacular Drag in the Park event, and an epic after-party. We’re going to have a beautiful evening, united with purpose and a shared commitment to making a lasting impact for those living with HIV. As we prepare to unveil more details in the coming months, we invite you to stay connected and subscribe to hear more. See you soon!
