The 7th Yvette M. Palmer Purple Pinkie 5K/10K was a solid success.
 
Through the efforts of 33 of our District RCs plus enthusiastic runners including Interact teams, over $28,000 was raised. With the tripling by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation this translates to over $84,000 for the fight against polio.  That is over 112,500 doses of polio vaccinations!
 
Congratulations to "DGwannabee" and Race Chair Extraordinaire Herb Klotz for a fantastic result.
