We Rise Above Foundation Founder Sarah Baldiga speaks at Rotary

Our speaker today was Sarah Baldiga from Upton, MA., who has formed a foundation called Rise Above Foundation to support the needs of area foster children. Tony Chinappi of Milford saw our Tab this past Fall and called Program Chair Jane Shroeder to suggest that Sarah be invited to share her organizations story at a Rotary meeting. Sarah is hoping to spread awareness of her projects.

Following her presentation, the Rotary Club donated the day's fines to The Rise Above Foundation as well as a donation for $100. GREAT organization - well managed and run by volunteers all with big hearts! Follow them on FB at Rise Above Foundation or at www. weriseabove.org
