 ModSpace
Tour du Rouge Raises $500,000
for Gulf Coast Red Cross Chapters
ModSpace was proud to partner with the American
Red Cross as the title sponsor of the Inaugural
Tour du Rouge - a 512 mile bicycle journey
along the Gulf Coast to raise money and awareness
for disaster preparedness.
Rescheduled from the original date of October
2008 due to the devastation of Hurricane Ike,
the Tour du Rouge event began on Sunday, May
3 in Houston, TX and ended Friday, May 8 in
New Orleans, LA. 
In addition to the 6 day ride, many Houston
area cyclists also participated in a one-day
ride from Houston to Beaumont. Each rider
had a fundraising goal to help 7 Red Cross
chapters along the Gulf Coast. In addition
to financial support, ModSpace became an essential
part of the tour logistics by providing mobile
offices that served as "Rider Hospitality
Suites" with cyber cafes along the route.
ModSpace branches in Beaumont, TX & LaPlace,
LA also hosted riders for much needed rest
stops along the route.
Tour du Rouge riders were joined by courageous
ModSpace
employees who made their own personal commitment
to
the event by riding the entire 6-day route.
