Rotex Ponseti Fun Run

WHAT IS ROTEX?

Rotex are Rotary Youth Exchange alumni who have completed their exchange and have returned to the United States. The Rotex Club of District 5970 was established in January 2019 and we currently operate out of Iowa City because the majority of Rotex attend the University of Iowa. Our main goal is to assist the RYE Council in training the inbounds during their exchange year and preparing outbounds for their exchange before they leave. We also hope to assist Rotary in recruitment for the Youth Exchange program. Aside from assisting Rotary, the Rotex club also engages in a volunteer project at least once a year, and our current project is the Ponseti Kids for a Cause Fun Run. 

THE PONSETI KIDS FOR A CAUSE FUN RUN

The Ponseti Kids For a Cause Fun Run is a fundraiser held by Clubfoot Solutions to raise money for effective clubfoot braces using the Ponseti Method. Nearly 80% of children with congenital clubfoot birth defect are born in developing countries, where their families lack the funds to pay for these braces. The Fun Run is a run, not a race, and is a family-friendly event for children 13 and under and their families. The cost is $25 for a single runner and $50 for families. Former MLB pitcher and clubfoot child Jim Mecir will be in attendance as well as many children Clubfoot Solutions has benefited throughout the years. We are in desperate need of runners and volunteers for the event!
