Description

Join us on February 24th and help give meaningful experiences to children in the community! The Geaux Bald Race is a charity event to raise money for Camp Tiger. Camp Tiger is a free, five-day camp for children and teens ages 5 to 18 years old living with physical and cognitive challenges such as cystic fibrosis, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism, and more. Since 2000, this camp has been organized by 
first and second year medical students from LSU Health Shreveport. Throughout the week, campers participate in a variety of activities in the Shreveport community such as trips to Hot Wheels of Wonder Skating Rink, Sci-Port Discovery Center, Gators and Friends, Holiday Lanes Bowling, and much more. Most importantly, the campers benefit from the social interaction with one another and the individual attention from camp counselors. ALL PROCEEDS will be donated to this initiative. Get involved, and 
you'll be giving opportunities to infants, children, teens and young adults!
