Ride for Refuge is a non-competitive cycling event that partners with 175+ independent charities annually and raises awareness and funds for displaced persons,[1] the vulnerable, and the exploited.[2] The event occurs internationally, at locations in Canada and the United States.[3] Ride for Refuge was started in Canada in 2004,[4] by the Christian missionary organization International Teams Canada.[5] In its first year, Ride for Refuge took place in one city, Kitchener, Ontario, and there were only 25 cyclists.[6] As of 2014, the Ride for Refuge has raised more than $5,000,000.00 for their charitable partners.[7][citation needed] Teams that enter in the event can choose from a list of approved charities for whom to fundraise[8] Teams can choose to support orphans, homeless people, refugees, human trafficking victims, and other displaced peoples.[9]
