The Ride to End Polio is a bicycling fundraiser hosted by Rotary District 5500 and held each November in Tucson, Arizona, USA, in conjunction with El Tour de Tucson, one of the largest annual bicycling events in the US.
In 2017 the Ride to End Polio raised US $11.7 million including the Gates Foundation match. Since its inception in 2009, the event has raised more than US $45 million, enough to purchase more than 50 million doses of polio vaccine.
