Rotary4Kids Raises $112,000 and counting for special needs kids!
By the time this year’s radio-a-thon wrapped up at 10:00 am today, “Redpath Rotary4Kids” hit the $112,000 mark, with donations still coming in.
Country 90.5 FM morning host Kevin Oschefski was on the air for a total of 15 hours helping the Rotary Club of North Bay raise money in support of area children and youth with special needs.
Redpath Rotary4Kids Chair Nicole Beattie commented that “The continued success of this fundraiser, in its 24th year, would not be possible without the incredibly generous support of the large number of individual donors, sponsors, local organizations and businesses, many who have been with us from day one”.
Jeff Hobbs, Club President, added “Since its inception, the radio-a-thon has raised over 1.8 million dollars that have 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”.
Donations can still to be made online at www.rotary4kids.ca throughout the year.
