Broward House in a not for profit social services organization with 28 years of providing services for our community impacted by HIV and other health concerns.
“What does a client of Broward House looks like”, an individual who desires and deserves to know they are worthy of respect and dignity. Someone who is impacted by a disease that affects every aspect of their being: emotional, spiritual, mental and physical, who should have ease of access to the care essential for healing. We cannot provide a single picture to describe who we serve. For that picture you must look in the mirror, at your neighbor, at the person walking down the street and the clerk behind the counter assisting you. We serve every age, every race, every gender, every sexual orientation, every education level – HIV/AIDS is everywhere and so is Broward House.
The continued broad impact of HIV/AIDS challenges us to continue to broaden our services in both mainstream and unique ways.

A 2 Day Ride, 165-Mile Ride from Miami to Key West
Like many things that change us and the world in some way, it starts with a dream, a vision, and an idea. The SMART Ride (Southern Most AIDS/HIV Ride) is no different. It was born out of a dream to make a real and significant difference in the lives of those infected, affected and at risk for HIV/AIDS. In 2002, the idea was a welcome change to this kind of fundraising, but met much skepticism about the reality of meeting these goals of 100%. The ride became a reality one year later in November of 2003 with less than 100 riders and about 100 crew. Miraculously, we raised $169,000 and returned it all to AIDS Service Organizations. Thirteen years later, over $8.5 million has been distributed throughout Florida, making SMART Ride the 2nd largest AIDS bicycle ride in the country and the only one of its size to give back 100%.
Participants come from across the State of Florida. From as far south as Key West, as far North as Jacksonville, and from Tampa to Palm Beach. Nationally, participants come from as far as Hawaii to as close as our neighboring state of Georgia, not to mention Internationally. The ride attracts between 400-500 participants with each event, but we touch thousands more on the road as we travel between cities and towns, and with each donation that is made. Last year, close to 10,000 people donated to our efforts – that’s quite an impact! Our own Mary Kinirons has completed the Ride, and both Bill and Mary have acted as support crew for many years.
