I'm excited to be back in the saddle & pedaling my way across the Lower Cape in an effort to raise dollars and awareness for the AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod! ASGCC has been providing services for over 40 years; our services range from case management for individuals living with HIV to services for the community at large including sexual health screenings to overdose education and NARCAN distribution and Harm Reduction services. My first day of work at ASGCC was August 3, 1998 and I continue to be so proud of our work!
Each donation is greatly appreciated and helps ASGCC to be able to provide no-cost services to the Cape & Islands community. And I am thankful for donations that help me reach my fundraising goal for ASGCC through the Second Summer Cycle!
AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod - Second Summer Cycle
Cape Cod's Second Summer Cycle
A Charity Ride Benefitting 19 Cape Cod Non-Profit Organizations
The Second Summer Cycle is the perfect event for riders of all levels, offering a picturesque journey through 11 historic Cape Cod towns and a strong commitment to rider safety. Three distances are being offered, 33, 69, and 100 miles with the final stop being a celebration at Motta Field in beautiful Provincetown. Dance to the music of Sarah Swain and the Oh Boys, use your $30 worth of vouchers provided as part of your registration to purchase food from 4 different food trucks, to include cold beverages provided by Barnstable Brewing Company, with Second Summer Cycle cans as memorabilia!
Nineteen Cape Cod non-profit organizations will benefit from the monies generated by the riders, each of whom is asked to raise at least $250 for their non-profit of choice, or to be disseminated across all 19 charities, in addition to the registration fee.
Ample hydration and nutrition stops will be strategically positioned along the course, along with medical and physical therapy stations equipped with tents and tables to ensure participants' comfort and well-being.

ASGCC is proud to be a part of the Second Summer Cylce on September 15, 2024. All funds raised will support our services which remain 100% free of charge to our clients.
AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod was founded 1983 by a group of volunteers who were responding to the emerging HIV/AIDS pandemic. From day one, ASGCC (then Provincetown AIDS Support Group) has been fighting for the rights AND the lives of those we serve. From our early days supporting gay men who were losing housing, employment and – too often – their lives to HIV/AIDS, to today as we serve not only the LGBTQ+ community, but other communities who are impacted by the intersection of stigma and public health – like those who are at risk of death by opioid overdose – ASGCC proudly serves communities across the entirety of the Cape & Islands.
Today we serve over 400 people who are living with HIV, hundreds of people who use drugs, and thousands who receive our other services, such as sexual health screenings (to prevent HIV and other STIs), community NARCAN trainings, MPOX Vaccines, and more.
ASGCC is committed to making a different in the lives of the communities we serve, including all visitors and residents of the Cape and Islands. Now in our fifth decade, all ASGCC services are designed to empower those we serve. We believe in the dignity of all, inclusive of race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation/identity, socio-economic status, housing status, health status, and relationship to substances.
ASGCC is a nonprofit, and as such we need you. We’ve set a goal of raising $30,000 with this year’s ride – and it’ll take a village! We thank you for considering selecting AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod as the beneficiary of your fundraising efforts. All monies raised will support ASGCC free, year-round services.
