The Cause

Your participation in the Tour du Rouge supports American Red Cross Chapters along the Gulf Coast from Houston to New Orleans.

• The American Red Cross provides emergency assistance when people are forced from their homes by fires, floods or other disasters.
• Military families stay connected through American Red Cross Emergency Communication.
• American Red Cross CPR and First Aid courses teach people to save a life, while American Red Cross swim lessons help protect our children's lives.
• The vast majority of these services are provided by our trained and dedicated volunteers, the heart of the American Red Cross. The American Red Cross is neighbors helping neighbors.
• The American Red Cross is not a government agency and receives its financial support through donations from the American public.

As you ride along the Gulf Coast, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you are helping your neighbors by making life better in these communities.
