Donations to Cradle 2 Career are needed and welcome!
Many thanks to all who contributed to the recent fundraiser at Sorellina's, to benefit Cradle 2 Career (C2C)! This fundraiser raised $250, adding to the $600 from Victoria's, so The Rotary Club of Rochester will contribute $850 to Cradle 2 Career's 4th Annual C2C Education Summit which will be held in October. The Rochester Risers Rotary Club and Greater Rochester Rotary also contribute to the Education Summit. However, with a budget of $10,000 needed, there is still a need for additional funds. If you are able to contribute any amount, please do so online through the TRCR Foundation webpage, designating Cradle 2 Career in the drop-down box.
Please make your donation by the end of May, if possible. Thank you for your support of this vital initiative!
