Get Involved!

Trail to a Cure, Inc. is a 100% volunteer organization - we have no paid staff. 100% of funds raised at the annual TTAC ride/walk/run event will be used to fund HIV/AIDS research and to provide services to those living with HIV/AIDS.

Your donation of time, talent, or money help to make this work possible.

2008's top online fundraiser and top offline fundraiser (pictured below) had never participated in an event like this before--but definitely plan to do so again. They have teamed up and are recruiting others to join them for TTAC 2009.

TTAC event participants, Joan Goodwin and Angie Rush, were our top individual fundraisers because they registered online via firstgiving.com/ttac and held their own small fundrasing events that helped them exceed their original fundraising goals for the Ride/Walk/Run event. (contributed photo)
