Redpath Rotary4Kids marks 24 years supporting kids
The Rotary Club of North Bay launched its annual fundraiser on March 20th, with the help of this year’s Redpath Rotary4Kids Ambassador, Presnel, age 6, a Grade 1 student at École publique Héritage, Country 90.5 FM’s morning host Kevin Oschefski, Jesse Reid, One Kids Place Children’s Treatment Centre, and Rouan Du Rand, representing our Presenting Sponsor, The Redpath Group.
Entering its 24th year, the Rotary club will be holding its radio-a-thon to raise much needed funds in support of area children and youth with special needs.
Country 90.5 FM’s morning host Kevin Oschefski will be taking to the airwaves at 6 am on Thursday, April 9th and then again on April 10th before signing off at 10 am.
Donations can be made online anytime at www.rotary4kids.ca, or in person on April 9th at the Community Pancake Breakfast being hosted by One Kids Place from 7:30 to 9:30 am, with a donation at the door, or at the Wrap-up Breakfast at the YMCA on April 10th from 7-10 am, courtesy of Average Joe’s Eatery and Patio, with a donation at the door.
Redpath Rotary4Kids Chair, Nicole Beattie, stated “Since its inception, the radio-a-thon has raised over 1.7 million dollars that has gone towards numerous Rotary Children’s Committee projects such as the purchase of assistive devices, home renovations, vehicle conversions, enrollment into various programs, assistance to cover uninsured medical costs and out of town travel and funding for special needs teams, just to name a few”.
Rotary Club President Jeff Hobbs added, “The success of this fundraiser would not be possible without the very generous support of individuals and families, and so many organizations and businesses, both large and small, in our community”.
