The Unified Relay Across America has made its way through Louisiana! Last week, the Relay made its way through our state with major stops in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Lake Charles and a great time was had by all!
Thank you to all of the torch runners who raised money and participated in the Relay! Your support of our athletes was awesome! Big thank you to our host sites: Tulane University, Town Square, and the Lake Charles Civic Center! Finally, a huge thanks to our URAA sponsors in Louisiana: Roadrunner Towing and Winn Dixie!
