It was a beautifully sunny but brutally cold and windy day at Long Beach this past Saturday for the 2019 Polar Plunge. Rotarian Plungers were Mike Bonsey, Gregg Johnson and KC Latham. Plungers from Interact were TJ Kelley, Kyle Dumas and Mike McHugh.
District 7030 has set a high bar with a goal of raising $125,000 this year for polio eradication. Polio is the signature cause of Rotary International. The Gates Foundation has partnered with Rotary and has committed to matching donations 2 to 1, that is Gates will contribute $2 for every $1 we raise. Rotary has the opportunity be the major mover in eradicating only the second disease in history. We're close, but not quite there yet.
Our club is as of now is 7th in the District with $3,050 raised. Our neighbor Wakefield has raised over $9K. Great job, Wakefield.
Here's our Team link for donations. Please spread the word and let's see how much we can raise to this vitally important cause.
