Benefiting
Proceeds from the El Tour Prologue Camp will help support Tucson Bikes for Change, an initiative to provide bicycles and helmets to children in need in the Tucson area. El Tour Bikes for Change has partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs Tucson, Serve Our City and other non-profit entities to deliver new bicycles, helmets, locks and lights to underserved youth. In 2022, we distributed 560 bikes to disadvantaged kids and in 2023 we gave away 3,000 bikes! This year, the sky in the limit!
Confirmed Pros and Schedule are subject to change.
