2017 NOLA to Angola Bike Ride
A nonprofit fundraiser supporting
Nola to AngolaNTA funds transportation for families to visit their incarcerated loved ones.
$1,441
raised by 41 people
$1,200 goal
Nola to Angola is an annual three-day, 170-mile bicycle ride fundraiser. We ride from Orleans Parish Prison in New Orleans to Angola, the Louisiana State Penitentiary. Each rider raises money by soliciting sponsorships from family and friends. The funds raised support the Cornerstone Builders Bus Project, which sends free buses every month for family members to visit their incarcerated loved ones.
The ride has grown from about a dozen riders to 50-60 and continues to expand each year, raising $25,000 â $30,000 for Cornerstone annually. This has enabled Cornerstone to send a full schedule of buses, to develop long-term sustainability, and to expand their services to Shreveport.

My goal is to raise $1,200 - enough money for a full bus of people to get from New Orleans to Angola and back!
Thanks so much for supporting the NTA ride and my fundraising!
