Trophies awarded to Rotary Challenge winners
CARMEL – Toddlers to senior citizens were congratulated over the weekend at the annual Carmel Rotary picnic for shooting the most baskets in their age category during the Rotary’s 16th annual Community Basketball Challenge. It surpassed expectations and raised $67,000 for dozens and dozens of organizations.
Children as young as three joined seasoned citizens in their mid- to late-70s by shooting baskets during a two-minute span that raised money for the participant’s favorite charity.
Since 2008 more than $650,000 has been raised for dozens of local, regional and national organizations.
Putnam County’s most tenured Rotarian Al Lotrecchiano recalled how in the late 1970s, each Rotary Club in Putnam took part in a basketball shootout and through 1991 when the program ceased, more than $250,000 had been collected for a variety of charities.
