You Ride, We Donate!
Blog Post Update | Thursday, October 23rd
For the last week, we asked Torontonians to #RideForACause by donating $1 of every ride to the charity of their choice. With five amazing organizations involved – CAMH, SickKids, Alpine Ontario, the Boys & Girls Club and True Patriot Love – the most difficult part was choosing which organization to ride for!
We’re blown away by the results and excited to announce that Toronto took just under 2,000 rides on behalf of these five organizations! On top of that, for having the most rides taken, we’ll also be donating an additional $5,000 to SickKids!
Thank you to all the amazing riders who supported #RideForACause! If you’re a non-profit organization that would like to get involved with Uber Toronto, feel out this form!

Thanksgiving might be over, but the ability to give back continues on with Uber! Plus, we figured the turkey might have you moving a bit slower this week, so we came up with a way that lets you continue giving thanks AND pick up the pace: Ride for a Cause.
Our Partners
