We love our non-profit partners! The list continues to grow for our 2026 Ride on Nov. 21, 2026

We’re gearing up for the 43^rd El Tour de Tucson and, wow, it projects to be a great,  fun-filled event with almost 3,000 cyclists already signed up.

At that pace, we could have 11,000 cyclists riding in our event.

Once again, we are projected to have more than 100 nonprofits working their magic as they help to raise money for their respective charities. In fact, we should have more than 125 overall. We are getting new ones added almost every week.

They’ve seen the power of El Tour given it has helped raise nearly $140 million in the 42 years of existence. Last year, El Tour helped raise over $8 million for local and national charities.

We’re rolling – literally and figuratively.

“We are delighted to welcome numerous El Tour non-profit partners,” said Jessica Davis, El Tour’s Event & Nonprofit Director. “Each nonprofit has a distinct cause or mission that positively impacts the community. El Tour presents an opportunity to assist them in achieving their fundraising objectives. We are and will continue to be their strong supporters.”

It has been a charity event since day one and has continued for 42 years.

We welcome many charities back, and we say hello and welcome new ones.

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

We want to raise more than $9 million this year (of course, to beat last year’s number). Through the years we’ve raised nearly $140 million – a number we are very proud of given the magnitude.

We welcome all the nonprofits that have signed up and to all the ones who will be joining us for our ride on Nov. 21, 2026.

And be sure to meet all our nonprofits at our annual Loop de Loop event on Sept. 19, 2026 Sign up and ride for one of them!
