Tour de Steamboat Benefit Auction

In partnership with the Tour de Steamboat this benefit auction will complement the fundraising activities for the Tour and its beneficiaries.
Celebrating its 11th year, the Tour de Steamboat annual cycling event welcomes over 1000 cyclists and volunteers for a one-day ride over the beautiful Rabbit Ears, Gore, and Yellow Jacket mountain passes through Steamboat, Toponas, Yampa, Phippsburg, Oak Creek, and Stagecoach. This non-competitive event is open to cyclists of all ages and three lengths of rides are offered. Participants are encouraged to ride at their own pace and enjoy the majestic scenery in Northern Colorado!

These beneficiary agencies provide staff to plan and market the event, implement additional fundraising mechanisms, and assist with event operations. The beneficiaries are also committed to paying it forward. Every year, the beneficiary non-profits choose other local beneficiary organizations to receive a portion of the event proceeds. Last year, the Tour de Steamboat beneficiaries granted $5,000 from the proceeds of the event between four other local organizations: SOROCO Preschool for playground equipment, The Town of Oak Creek for school-aged children programming and the Steamboat Springs Community Assistance Fund critical incident support service.
