For over a decade, Fort Bend Cares has committed itself to raising money and awareness regarding the growing presence of disadvantaged children living in and around Fort Bend County. Rather than fundraising on behalf of Fort Bend Cares, the organization uses various annual events to produce supplementary funds for other charities and philanthropy groups working throughout the county with similar interests.
On February 6, 2016, Fort Bend Cares will host its annual road trip event. The 2015 event, dubbed “Road Trip through the French Countryside,” drew more than 530 participants and numerous contributing sponsors, including Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital, Spectra Specialty, and The Pub Fountains. The combined efforts of racers and sponsors generated over $200,000. The money will be directed to various organizations that serve Fort Bend County’s in need youth population.
