Regina Cagle Assists in Hurricane Relief Efforts

Environmental Engineering student Regina Cagle whose family had to evacuate their homes due to Hurricane Katrina will cycle across the country from Florida to California to help the rebuilding efforts for the victims of the hurricane.

Cagle, along with Russell Goodman (Drexel) and three students from the University of Texas and Rice University will begin their cycling tour in Florida on June 5, 2006. On their way to New Orleans, they will volunteer in local churches and organizations to restore homes and communities destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. After their stop at New Orleans, the volunteers will continue fundraising on their way to San Francisco.

The organization, “Texans Cycling America for Rebuilding Efforts” or Texans C.A.R.E has set a fundraising goal of $15,000, which will be donated to the organizations for which they volunteer during their tour. Donations to help fund the tour and help the Katrina victims can be made online at http://www.texansCARE.org or mailed to
