Phore Blockchain Supports 'Tour De Crypto' to Raise Cryptocurrency Awareness and Blockchain Adoption for Charity

CHICAGO, September 6, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Phore Blockchain, a leading blockchain platform and cryptocurrency called PHR, is pleased to announce its support of Tour de Crypto, a cross-country cycling event intended to promote the use of cryptocurrencies and raise awareness for the many benefits they offer to individuals, businesses, and as a donation medium for charitable causes.

This year’s event has the goal of raising $1,000,000 USD worth of cryptocurrencies and USD donations, 100% of which will be awarded to the Houston Area Women’s Center (HAWC), a non-profit organization that has been operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for over 40 years. HAWC works to end domestic and sexual violence through advocacy, counseling, shelter and support services which are free of charge, confidential and available to everyone. HAWC has a 4-star rating on Charity Navigator and will accept a select group of cryptocurrencies, including PHR, as a direct form of donation.

Phore could not be more excited to support Tour de Crypto and HAWC. This event will help raise awareness for the many benefits cryptocurrencies offer and how non-profit organizations, can leverage those benefits.

A driver, videographers and an audio crew will accompany and record the cross-country tour. Coverage of their journey will be broadcast through live feeds and shared on multiple social media platforms so audiences can follow the tour.

“We are happy to have Phore Blockchain on board to support this event,” said Tour de Crypto Founder and Rider, Jason Berlin. “In addition to being a solid project, Phore shares our vision of gaining mass adoption of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, as well as supporting philanthropic efforts.”
