The following is from the Bearracuda's (website - articles - profile) newsletter: "In a couple of weeks, an ambitious group of Bears called Team Be-cause (Bears with a Cause), along with 2,000+ riders, will be cycling from San Francisco to Los Angeles as part of AIDS/LifeCycle 8. It's a 562 mile bike ride to help raise critical funds for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.

Team Be-cause needs your help! Each rider is required to raise at least $3,000 in order to participate in the ride. After months and months of rigorous training, please don't let these Bears be denied! Please go to the Team Be-cause website and donate today".

Team Bear has added a new look to their website. They have added more photos to their gallery and there's a new discussion forum as well. They have also raised a ton of dough for the San Francisco AIDS foundation - 145k.

"Team Bear is a community project of PrideWorks, a San Francisco-based non profit organization. PrideWorks absorbs administrative, marketing and development costs so that 100% of all net proceeds raised by Team Bear goes to AIDS LifeCycle, benefitting the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Gay & Lesbian Center of Los Angeles".

In other news, they need volunteers for the Hairrison. "Several fundraising efforts for Team Bear will take place over the Labor Day Weekend during Hairrison Street Fair this year. We need volunteers 1) to staff the Team Bear Beverage Tent (selling drinks during the fair), 2) to act as bar managers for other Beverage Tents, 3) to sell Bear Tags, and 4) to help out at fundraisers that week".
