Dr. Wolfe Gerecht

APO would like to extend a special thank you to our retired Medical Director and Infectious Disease Specialist, Dr. Wolfe Gerecht. Dr. Gerecht was instrumental in APO’s early successes. He stood on the front lines of HIV/AIDS treatment and care in the early days, fighting against all odds, for the lives of those infected with AIDS. Dr. Gerecht was a constant advocate for his patients, and made a huge impact on the lives of so many. APO and the community are a much better place because of the kindness and determination of this man. In honor of Dr. Gerecht, we have named our clinic the Dr. Wolfe Gerecht Clinic, and will continue to honor his commitment to people with HIV/AIDS.

Galloway Station Bar and Grill

Galloway Station, a wonderful bar and grill in southeast Springfield, has been the home of the Red Ribbon Ride since the event’s beginning until it’s final ride. Klaus, John and the entire staff made the cyclists feel welcomed and relaxed after an arduous ride. Galloway Station had generously provided and prepared the food for the Bike Ride every year. We are so thankful for all that they did for APO, and the Red Ribbon Ride. Their atmosphere was the perfect fit for our event and truly made us feel at home. With their support we were able to raise funds for APO for 20 great years.
