Tour de Streets 2024 was awesome - thanks to everyone who donated + participated!

It has been 19 years since we first started our work. Tour de Streets remains our most important annual fundraising event, featuring two bike rides, a walk, ending with a celebration with food and drinks, provided by local vendors, and... ice cream!

This is a great opportunity to connect with partners and friends as we celebrate LivableStreets’ accomplishments and ensure we have the resources to fund our work in the coming years.

Will you help us reach our fundraising goal of $60,000?
