This summer, six Ulster County cycling enthusiasts, Team Project 19, will spend seven days riding their bicycles 560 miles from Niagara Falls to Manhattan—as part of The Empire State AIDS Ride (ESAR)—to help raise money to support AIDS research and local AIDS relief organizations. To support this effort, on Sunday, July 19, Project 19 is hosting The Fine Art and Design Auction of the Hudson Valley, proceeds from which will support ESAR and Angel Food East, a non profit volunteer program that provides hot meals and sustenance to Ulster County residents living with AIDS.
