El Tour De Tucson Wrap-Up!

We are thrilled to share the incredible success of this year’s Team Defenders with El Tour De Tucson, and we couldn't have done it without the amazing support of our community!


A huge thank you to our presenting sponsor Citi and to Team Citi, who went above and beyond with 10 riders raising $5,488, making them our Top Fundraising Group within Team Defenders.


We also want to extend our gratitude to our generous sponsors Pima Federal Credit Union, Superior Post Tension, and Reforma for their continued support.


Special congratulations to Natalie Cornelius, our Top Individual Fundraiser, who raised an incredible $2,026.86! Your dedication is truly inspiring.


With 24 fundraising riders and the support of our amazing sponsors, Team Defenders raised over $42,700, all of which will go directly to supporting our mission of creating and nurturing one-to-one youth mentoring relationships. This year, that means we’re supporting nearly 400 youth in our community!


On race day, Team Defenders proudly covered a total of 1,284 miles, showing the strength, perseverance, and commitment that make this event so special.


Thank you to everyone who rode, donated, and supported us — together, we’re making a lasting impact in the lives of young people in our community. We couldn’t do it without you and look forward to next year!
