El Tour Nonprofits are the engine that could and does in helping make the Ride a good one

What a 40^th anniversary we had!

But we’re not stopping there. We’ll have as many cyclists (9,000) as last year and likely just as many nonprofits (70) as last year. We already have 32 and the registration just opened.

We’re excited. You should be too – as we look forward to our 41^st year at El Tour.

Banner – University Medicine and Banner – University Family Care 41^st El Tour de Tucson could be the biggest one yet with cyclists, volunteers, elite cyclists, sponsors and entertainers and more.

The whole purpose of the ride is that it’s a fundraiser so the non-profit partners are crucial to the event’s success.

It has been a charity since day one and has continued through 40 years.

We welcome many back and say hello and welcome to the new ones.

If you are going to ride, think about riding for any one of the nonprofits listed.

We want to raise more than $6 million this year. That number has long been realistic and now we have a feeling year 40 is going to crush that number. Last year, we collectively help raise $5.8 million, moving our overall total to nearly $121 million.

Welcome to all the nonprofits that have signed up and to all the ones who will be joining us for our ride on Nov. 23, 2024.

And be sure to meet all our nonprofits at our annual Loop de Loop event on Sept. 21, 2024. Sign up and ride for one of them!
