DON'T FORGET...
Whatever way you decide to make your donation please get in touch with us so that we know what contributions you made. The Greater New Orleans Foundation, unfortunately, cannot keep a running record of the funds we bring to the "Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund" unless you use Razoo.com so we need you to contact us to let us know what you donated. We would like to keep a record of the total amount so that we know if we have reached (or hopefully surpassed) our goal and keep all our followers up to date with the fundraising efforts!
DONATE OVER $20 AND RIDE WITH US??
If you donate over $20 please send us a picture of yourself (if you want to). We will dedicate that part of our tour to you without you even having to do any cycling training! Keep checking the blog during August because you could be on a beach or climbing a huge hill!...but only if you donate!
The Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund
Proceeds from the Gulf Coast Oil Spill Fund will support work that helps the communities most affected by the oil spill in Plaquemines, St. Bernard, and lower Jefferson Parishes.
In the long-term, the fund will help address the long-term economic, environmental, cultural effects of the disaster, and strengthen coastal communities against future environmental catastrophes by investing in solutions.
