Nola Bulls, LLC strives to improve New Orleans through our festivals but that doesn’t mean only through throwing kickass parties. We partner with Beth’s Friends Forever each year to raise money for women fighting cancer in New Orleans and the surrounding area. Thanks to our friends at the Ochsner Cancer Center, we’ve donated THOUSANDS direclty to women who are kicking cancer’s arse!
In July 2014, Beth Hanning was diagnosed with Stage IIB Breast Cancer. Her story and experience was the inspiration for the creation of “Beth’s Friends Forever”. BFF’s goal is to supplement the resources of women fighting cancer in the Greater New Orleans area.
GENESIS OF A CHARITY
Since 2010, Team Nola Bulls Cycling has participated in charity rides and raised nearly $500,000. While on a training ride in Fall 2014, Co-Captains Mickey & Scott Galante were discussing Beth’s chemotherapy, costs, and the impact. By the end of that ride, the pair had conceived an idea to develop a charity that could provide support to those needing a helping hand while in treatment.
Beth’s Friends Forever was born shortly thereafter, and Team Nola Bulls Cycling had a new cause to support.
