Ride To Reunite
Join the TEAM!! Help bring awareness and aid to recent Gulf hurricanes victims by, supporting the Ride To Reunite.
Our vision is to utilize the sport of cycling to demonstrate a commitment to social responsibility and concern.
We are uniting the cycling world in an effort to raise worldwide awareness, relief, and funds for the victims of the recent Gulf hurricanes. The Ride To Reunite specifically focuses attention on the critical need to reunite children and their families who were affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. To quickly raise awareness we have joined forces with an established charity. Save the Children, is the leading US and world wide independent organization creating lasting change for children in need. Through its Gulf Coast Recovery Fund For Children all money generated will be put to immediate use. All donations will be a 100% tax deduction.
Our goal is to raise $100,000 for the hurricane victims. As cyclists we know it takes a TEAM to achieve, this couldnt be truer now. Help us raise awareness by joining the group of already committed cyclists for a segment of the ride or sponsoring a rider. Other ways you can contribute are by donating products that can be used in our raffle to generate money for the charities.
Ride Info: We will be departing with a sponsor and media kickoff celebration in San Diego at 8am Saturday October 22nd, from the San Diego Velodrome and complete the Ride To Reunite at 3pm Sunday October 30th in New Orleans.
Our team will include 8-10 top professional cyclists committed to riding from San Diego to New Orleans. Alongside the pros will be an equally committed group of hundreds of cyclists prepared to ride segments of the journey. Ride logistics have been planned for those riders going the distance including navigators, mechanics, a team chef, mobile support, and traveling caravan.
Media coverage will be utilized in the eight major US cities in route from San Diego to New Orleans (San Diego, CA Phoenix, AZ Tucson, AZ El Paso, TX San Antonio, TX Houston, TX Baton Rouge, LA New Orleans, LA).
No matter what is in our future as cyclists we are committed to causes outside ourselves. Now our focus is on the young victims and their families affected by recent hurricanes. As cyclists we use intense efforts to succeed, and it will take an intense effort of social responsibility to win the battle against the Gulf hurricane disasters and the continuing long term effects.
This is a great way for the cycling community to demonstrate their concern and compassion for the hurricane victims. The support we have been getting already is amazing. That support will only grow with each city we pass through building into a huge surge of aid and assistance.
