On August 1st, one D6900 Rotarian Lee Hollingsworth (Roswell) is doing something crazy for the Foundation: jogging across Badwater Basin in Death Valley, the lowest, hottest place in North America— at age 70!

What started as a personal challenge has become a mission: To raise $15,000 for two Rotary causes all of us believe in:

• 50% to PolioPlus – finishing the fight to eradicate polio
• 50% to a Global Grant for Kibeam literacy tools – voice-guided projectors that help K–3 children learn to read in underserved communities

A $5,000 challenge match has already been committed: conditional on raising an additional $10,000.  There is a $1,000 minimum Foundation donation, and the donors and THEIR clubs get the credit. It helps Foundation directors meet their PolioPlus and annual fund commitments!

Whether you’re an individual Rotarian or a group with a single club, a pledge will directly support this bold—and hot—effort.

No money is needed today—just your pledge.

“Some run from the heat. I’m running into it—for children that may never run anywhere. To be served the gift of knowledge the way all Rotarians have at one time been led. ”       Lee H
