2007 Tour de Durango Fundraising Goal

The Tour De Durango is a non-profit charity ride that directs 100% of the fundraising to the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF). The LAF believes that in the battle with cancer, unity is strength, knowledge is power and attitude is everything. Founded in 1997 by cancer survivor and champion cyclist, Lance Armstrong, the LAF provides the practical information and tools people living with cancer need to live strong.

Matching Gifts

Many companies encourage their employees to make charitable contributions by matching their philanthropic support - some even match at an increased rate of $5 for each $1 given. The impact of corporate matching support can be enormous.

To find out if you work for a company who matches, consult your human resources office, which will provide you with a matching gift form.
