AIDS/LifeCycle
Join us at the Finish Line!
As many of you know, Sharpe Interior Systems, Inc. participated in the AIDS/LifeCycle event, which is a 545-mile bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise funds for the life-saving services offered by the Los Angeles LGBT Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. The event started Sunday, June 2nd and finished on Saturday, June 8th. The Sharpe team was a part of 3,000 Cyclists who participated in the AIDS/LifeCycle event this year. Friends, families and colleagues of AIDS/LifeCycle participants – come cheer on your Riders as they complete their journey down the coast of California!
​
We invite and encourage you to join us on the final day for the "Finish Line Festival" located at 7850 Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. If you’re planning on cheering on a participant, talk to them beforehand to get an idea of when they expect to arrive at the Finish Line Festival site. The fastest Cyclists usually ride in around 11AM, with most cyclists coming in between 12PM and 4PM. The Finish Line Festival will take place from 11AM to 5:00PM. What happens at the Finish Line Festival (aside from the overall sensation of victory?) The Finish Line includes a main stage with music and dancing, a food truck village serving diverse and delicious cuisine, photo opportunities, and at 5:00pm an end-of-event video presentation!
