THE 2024 PURPLE PINKIE PROJECT - How Sweet It Is!
 
Because of Rotary’s International efforts, polio has been eradicated in all but 2 countries worldwide. Rivertowns Rotary has purchased (donated) Dunkin' "purple" donuts in support of the eradication of polio.  All funds support of the Purple Pinkie Project and are being matched 3:1 by the Gates Foundation.
Why Purple?
Every donation helps vaccinate children around the world. When a child is immunized, Rotarians mark their pinkies with a topical purple dye to prevent double dosages.
Donuts Delivered to the Mercy University Mav Market.
Rivertowns Rotary members presented over 200 purchased purple donuts to the Mav Market where the goal is to reduce food insecurity for students on campus.

Ron Gold, motivational speaker, shares his inspiring life story with the group. Ron described how a devastating car crash left him paralyzed and his journey back from Wall Street to Wheelchair to healthcare executive.  He explained what motivated him to reinvent home care by starting LeanOnWe which eliminates the agency middleman, changing how Americans hire private caregivers.
Since the Greenburgh Graham School in Hastings became Rivertowns Rotary's recipient of our 2022 service partnership, our relationship has remained strong. When we were contacted to help support the schools winter cloth drive, we rose to the occasion, collecting two car-loads of cloths. Some members even reached out to their private network to contribute.

16 year old co-founder of Project Bell, Alexa Spar, familiarizes our Club with her remarkable organization that donates "New Beginning" bells to cancer & transplant centers. Bells are rung by patients receiving chemotherapy, radiation and organ transplants, along with their families and the staff to celebrate the completion of treatment.
