Maintaining its long-standing tradition of supporting HIV/AIDS charities, Kiehl’s, the New York-based purveyor of fine quality skin and hair care, announced its continued partnership with amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, and the sixth annual Kiehl’s LifeRide for amfAR.

Inspired by Kiehl’s history with motorcycles and philanthropic heritage, the sixth annual charity motorcycle ride continues to heighten awareness and raise funds for amfAR. Beginning in Denver, and ending in San Diego, the 12-day ride takes place Aug. 4-15, 2015.

Rallying at 10 retail stores along the route, the company will donate a total of $150,000 over the course of the ride. At each stop, the public is invited to meet the riders, learn more about amfAR and contribute to the non-profit.

Featuring photos by Grammy award-winning photographer Travis Shinn, the book will be available for $60, in all Kiehl’s retail stores beginning August 1, and 100% of Kiehl’s net profits of the book, up to $10,000, benefit amfAR.
