I'm excited to be riding in this year's El Tour de Tucson - my charity is GAP Ministries!
Will you support me and positively impact the lives of over 350 foster children and teens? By donating to GAP Ministries, you will help break cycles of poverty and abuse through programs and services to keep children from ever entering the foster care system. Or, for kids already in the system, your donation will provide programs that bring healing to families to be successfully reunited with their children and not repeat these cycles.

Ride for GAP Ministries and positively impact the lives of over 350 foster children and teens. Help us break cycles of poverty and abuse through programs and services to keep children from ever entering the foster system. Or, if kids are already in the system, you can help us bring healing to families so they can be successfully reunited and not repeat these cycles.
Ways to ride for GAP:
Supporter - $145 (For current GAP donors only) If you currently give to GAP Ministries through your Arizona Foster Care Tax Credit or financial gifts, we want to say thank you by giving you the discounted nonprofit rate!
Supporter Plus - $195+ For new GAP partners (or current donors who would like the t-shirt), make an additional donation of $50 (or more) on top of the discounted nonprofit rate of $145 and get a specially designed GAP El Tour tee shirt!
Champion - $500 If you would like to raise money for GAP Ministries' mission, become a Champion! Ride for FREE, and receive a specially designed GAP El Tour tee shirt and goodie bag that includes bike socks, water bottle, and other items. (It's worth a try to ask your friends to support you - even if you don't raise the entire $500, if you raise at least $145 you still ride for free!)
For over 21 years GAP Ministries has been standing in the GAP for those in need, bringing HELP to children, HEALING to families, and HOPE to the community. We believe generational cycles of poverty, addiction, and a growing foster care system can be healed ONE LIFE at a time. Breaking these cycles leads to healthier families and creates transformed communities.
GAP cares for over 350 Southern Arizona foster children and teens annually, and assists their families in healthy reunification when possible through court-ordered supervised visitation, the Nurturing Parenting program, and mentoring. The GAP Kitchen provides 1000 meals weekly to low-income children, the elderly and individuals in need, and GAP's Community Warehouse redistributes over 4.5 million dollars’ worth of food and basic needs items to struggling families in our community. Miracle Center and GAP Ministries also provide Career+ job training and life management programs to help individuals coming from difficult places find success and a fresh start in the workforce.
