NorCal AIDS Cycle
2023-05-20 08:00 - 2023-05-21 17:00
RIDE WITH US!
The NorCal AIDS Cycle is an annual cycling event born out of a need that continues today. Diminishing resources to support those living with HIV/AIDS lead to a dedicated group of volunteers planning and producing a cycling event to raise funding for AIDS Service Organizations struggling to keep their doors open.
NCAC continues to pursue its mission, even under the difficult circumstances of the COVID19 pandemic. We were able to distribute $150,000 to beneficiaries during our pandemic-extended 2020/2021 event and with COVID restrictions still present and only being able to hold an abbreviated ride, we were able to distribute $97,000 to beneficiaries in 2022. It wasn’t easy, and it only happened because of the faith and energy from riders, crew, and supporters like you.
On Saturday, May 20, 2023 and Sunday, May 21, 2023 NorCal AIDS Cycle will ride again to raise money and awareness for HIV/AIDS service providers in the Sacramento Valley and beyond!

Anyone who lives or visits Nevada County knows it’s a special place; and it’s not just because of the beautiful scenery and iconic history. Our community is rich with individuals and nonprofit organizations that enhance our lives every day with their commitment to help people connect, grow and thrive.
This unique event will provide not only the opportunity, but the space, to encourage individuals with a passion, and the desire to put that passion into action, to find an organization that will provide the place to make that action a reality. Attendees will be able to explore both Volunteer and Job opportunities.
The Passion in Action event will see dozens of local nonprofit and community impact organizations, including the Nevada County Fair, participating as ‘vendors’ of volunteer and job opportunities. These groups will be ready to share their needs and employment options with job seekers and volunteers as they seek to engage civically minded community members in their work.
Brought to you in partnership with the Nevada County Fair, this FREE to the public event will be a delightful afternoon of community and connection. Food vendors will be on hand to offer visitors a snack or beverage as they explore the many community impact organizations. Enjoy for-purchase-fare from Top Dog, Coco’s Creamery and Java John’s.
