Every year since 2023, I’ve been thrilled to take art in raising funds for, “The Hill Country Ride for AIDS!  The HCRA is known for its inclusive and active community and you are a huge part of it.  Ride Day is April 18th, 2026 and we've got the info you need below to get set up! The Hill Country Ride for AIDS (HCRA) is the largest fundraiser in Central Texas for HIV/AIDS services. A family-friendly and festive bike ride through the beautiful hill country, the Ride raises funds that are given directly to nine local nonprofits who help those in our community affected by HIV/AIDS. In the past 25+ years the Ride has raised over $13 million! The Ride has been voted “Best Ride” in Austin twice by the Austin Chronicle and the “Best Cycling Event” by Austin Fit Magazine for three consecutive years and again in 2024! It is a beloved community event with an amazingly loyal and supportive following.
