What are UnderRiders?
UnderRiders are a special group of donors that enable us to give as much participant fundraising as possible to those affected by HIV/AIDS in our community. UnderRiders are former Hill Country Ride for AIDS riders (maybe their knees insist they support the cause in new, less physical ways), philanthropists, and activists all passionate about the cause at hand. We are more than happy to have your donations online, but your donation will go even further if you help us avoid a service fee by mailing your check to Hill Country Ride for AIDS, P.O. Box 49097, Austin, TX 78765.
In 2024, UnderRiders raised nearly $79,000! You can help make 2025 the best year ever!
100% of donations by UnderRiders are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
What We Want To Give You:
Special Recognition in Hill Country Ride web and email – you will be featured on the UnderRider page of the Ride website and in a special UnderRider email to the entire Ride family email list. A special UnderRiders’ event to celebrate the ride and and welcome new UnderRiders. This year the party is Thursday, February 29th! Ride Magic!!
