Tour de Bleu

Our annual cycling fundraiser is a private event started by Peter back in 2005. The Tour de Bleu rallies together a dedicated group of cyclists, all philanthropists in their own right, to raise money and awareness for world-class organizations.

$7.7 Million Raised for Brain Health Research at UHN

Tour de Bleu raised $7.7 million in 2025 for University Health Network’s (UHN) Krembil Brain Institute. Funds raised will directly advance research in neurodegenerative diseases and neuroregenerative medicine at UHN’s Krembil Brain Institute, one of the world’s leading centres for neuroscience and a hub of discovery that is redefining care for patients with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries, stroke, and other conditions that affect millions of Canadians.

20 Years of Tour de Bleu

Since its inception in 2005, Tour de Bleu, the annual cycling fundraiser hosted by Mattamy Homes and the Peter Gilgan Foundation, has raised more than $53 million to benefit world-class organizations such as SickKids, CAMH, Women’s College Hospital, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, the Mattamy National Cycling Centre, Markham/Stouffville Hospital, Trillium Health Partners, William Osler Health System and now the University Health Network’s Krembil Brain Institute.

This year’s partnership with UHN Foundation reflects the Peter Gilgan Foundation’s commitment to investing in brain health — an area of urgent need as populations age and the prevalence of neurodegenerative disease continues to rise.
