Dearest Fellow Rotarians,
Spring is almost here! As the snow melts, get prepared to enjoy the weather, walk besides fellow Rotarians and friends and show your support at the Annual Rotary Poker Walk for HIV/AIDS on Saturday, 29th April, 2017.
Invite your family, friends & colleagues to join in the fun and help us reach our fundraising goal!
Share the Rotary Club of York Team Fundraising Webpage to Sponsor Our TEAM
You can also register and set your own personal fundraising goals!
Proceeds from the walk are apportioned to the war on AIDS and are carefully allocated directly to health providers, educators or non-profit agencies and hospitals with a proven track record of effectiveness and responsible financial management. Projects are monitored. All have all been carefully vetted, and in many cases visited by Canadian Rotarians or their Rotary partners. Accountability is paramount.
75% of funds raised will be returned to the teams for their chosen AIDS charities. The balance after expenses will be directed to an AIDS charity chosen by the Toronto AIDSWalk Committee.
For more information on how the funds will be used please visit the following webpage:
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
Hadia
