Beneficiaries Of The New Jersey Ride Against AIDS
The New Jersey Ride Against Aids has made the commitment to you and our beneficiaries that 100% of the pledge donations raised by riders and crew go directly to New Jersey charities helping to fight AIDS and support people suffering from AIDS/HIV disease in our state.
Each year, The New Jersey Ride Against AIDS selects a group of beneficiaries from among the many AIDS-related charities based in or serving New Jersey. We choose those whose services fit or organizations goals and values. We provide the funds without restrictions. The list of beneficiaries is subject to change at any time before the next Ride. The proportion of funds allotted to each is decided in the month before disbursement.

As a teen health and education center committed to promoting adolescent health and well being, HiTOPS believes in the three R’s: Rights, Respect and Responsibility. Teenshave the right to balanced, accurate, realistic sexuality education and confidential, affordable sexual health services. When youth are treated with respect they in turn learnto show respect in their relationships. Young people can act responsibly, make the link between sexuality and values, and protect their own and their partner’s health. Societyowes young people the tools they need to act responsibly: information, services, and a secure stake in the future. This philosophy underlies all of HiTOPS’ services andprograms. |
The agency was established in 1985 by a group of Atlantic City business people and private citizens who recognized and became concerned over the growing national HIV/AIDS epidemic. Thus, with few resources other than a desire to make a difference, these individuals founded an agency that would ultimately grow to be one of southern New Jersey’s oldest and largest AIDS Service Organizations (ASO). Today, with forty-five employees providing nearly twenty separate but integrated programs across a 1,300 square mile area encompassing three counties, SJAA stands as one of our state’s leaders in the fight against HIV/AIDS. The agency currently serves around 1,800 people living with HIV/AIDS and/or at very high risk for HIV through a wide variety of care and treatment support services; prevention interventions and counseling and testing efforts each year. The agency currently operates three primary support centers (one each in Atlantic City, Bridgeton and Wildwood) an intensive case management drop-in-center in Atlantic City, a prevention services center in Bridgeton, a prison discharge planning center in Millville and a satellite case management and HIV prevention services office in Vineland. Finally, they are an agency that strongly values diversity. Thus our staff includes individuals from varied races, cultural backgrounds and, gender identifications, and life-styles. Bilingual, culturally sensitive staff members are available at every site. Click here to read a thank you letter from the South Jersey AIDS Alliance.
