The Rotary Club of Santa Barbara’s annual Wheel Chairity Race to help raise funding to purchase wheelchairs for people challenged by severe disability and poverty in developing countries. These wheelchairs are 1. cheap, but 2. also inexpensive to maintain because they are made of widely available parts (bicycle tires, etc.)
The fundraiser is called Wheelcharity and it will be in the Ledbetter beach parking lot on Sunday June 3rd. From 12pm to 3pm.
We will need Rotaracters down there to encourage the racers/people donating and to also just help setup
Many Rotarians are pledging money ($500+ a piece) to this fundraiser. It will be casual and fun!
The race is $50 for an individual, $500 for a corporation (4 person relay), $200 for a small business (4 person relay)
The $50 cost of an entry is enough for 1 wheelchair. The $500 cost of a corporate relay is enough for 10 wheelchairs.
