Hello Somebody is an official sponsor of the Present: Hope Campaign presented by Venture Expeditions. They have also partnered with Catalyst and Convoy of Hope to raise support for those devastated by the tornadoes in Joplin, Missouri and Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Venture Expeditions went on a two-week cycling tour starting in Joplin and ended at Catalyst Leadership Conference in Atlanta. This was a tremendous opportunity to help those who still have many physical needs to be met.

The two-week tour started in Joplin, Missouri, traveled through Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and culminated with the riders finishing live on the Catalyst stage in Atlanta. The funds raised from the tour were presented at Catalyst Atlanta to Joplin and Tuscaloosa churches to Be Present in their communities.

During the tour participants spent a days helping tornado victims and stoped in communities en route, challenging people to give sacrificially as they sacrifice physically.

Goals and Objectives:

• Raise $100,000 for churches to reach out to people affected by tornados in Joplin and Tuscaloosa
• Continue to tell the story of people affected by the tornados in these areas
• Provide physical, moral and spiritual support for areas recovering from some of the deadliest tornadoes in US history

Although the bike tour is finished, the goal of raising of raising 100,000.00 for victims is not yet completed. We are standing with Venture Expeditions as a partner in fundraising.
