Present and Past District 6630 Polio Plus Chairs
What a great night at Progressive Field with the Rotary Clubs from District 6600, 6650 and 6630. Did you see the Orioles miss the double play against the Guardians? Did you see Richard Leskovec from the Chagrin Valley Rotary throw out one of the first pitches? Did you see the group of Rotarians selected to hold the O-H-I-O signs on the big screen? Did you see the Guardians beat the Orioles 8:4? Did you see Machine Gun Kelley at the game? Did you see the incredible fireworks display at the end of the game? And what about the fantastic Paul Davis Pennant District? The T-shirts, the endless food and drinks including cash bar, and lastly the incredible auction items.
All in all we sold nearly $6000 of raffle and silent auction tickets plus 299 baseball tickets sold with a portion of the proceeds going to the RI End Polio Plus campaign.
The winners of the raffles were:
- First Pitch- Jim Redmond, Akron
- Box Seats- Kevin Chiu, Canfield
- Autographed Baseball - Rich Luschin, Chardon
So don’t miss next year’s 2025 End Polio Campaign with the Guardians. We will keep you informed as events develop. If you still want to help support Rotary’s End Polio Campaign, you can participate in the ongoing “Pints and Pours to End Polio” where we gather at local breweries and wineries - click to view the schedule and locations. Rotary has worked with the World Health Organization to supply and distribute 1.2 million doses of the vaccine to the children of Gaza after the virus was recently detected.
Again, thanks to the Rotary Leadership for helping promote and sell raffle and auction tickets, our sponsors, donors, and all of your who attended and brought friends to see that …We are people of Action!
