Since 2002, more than 6,500 cyclists and their families have made their way to Whidbey Island from 37 states, Canada and 87 Washington towns to experience one of the Pacific Northwest’s most scenic and meaningful cycling events — Tour de Whidbey, according to a press release.
But the event is about more than just breathtaking views. It’s a ride with purpose.
Tour de Whidbey, hosted by the WhidbeyHealth Foundation, raises critical funds for local health care. Proceeds directly support WhidbeyHealth Hospital and Clinics, helping to purchase priority surgical and diagnostic equipment, make vital facility improvements and fund scholarships for medical professionals.
The community fundraiser also brings an economic boost to our island, with visitors turning their ride into a weekend getaway
