Ride for Refugees

Join us on May 5, 2024, and make every pedal count! 

USA for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is proud to join as an Official Charity Partner for the 2024 TD Five Boro Bike Tour. 

When you train and ride with us, the miles you log and the dollars you raise will help brave refugee families on their journey to safety.  

During the months, and likely years, these families are away from home, your love will be a much needed second wind. With you by their side, they can face any challenge as they recover and rebuild their lives. 

You will help provide critical aid like food, warm blankets and safe shelter in moments of crisis. But you will do so much more than that — you will empower refugees with hope and opportunity. 

How does it work?  

Ride For Refugees team members are guaranteed race entry when they commit to fundraise (or donate) a minimum of $800. A limited number of guaranteed spots will be available and we will grant them on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

Team Perks

How to Join the Team?  

Send an email with the subject line “Ride For Refugees” to stepwithrefugees@usaforunhcr.org to secure a spot and get set up on our fundraising platform.  

Fundraising 

Once you secure your spot, our team manager will help you prepare to fundraise and be a cheerleader during your training and fundraising journey. Please note that the TD Five Boro Bike Tour requires riders committing to a charity spot to raise a minimum amount. With this in mind, USA for UNHCR is requiring runners to raise a minimum of $800 and will ask for credit card information during the signup process to secure their spot. If a fundraiser doesn’t meet the minimum commitment, the balance will be charged to the credit card on file on April 5, 2024.
