👏Headline: The Final Sprint: District 7670 vs. Alzheimer’s

Rotary District 7670, we are less than $30,000 away from capturing 3rd place in The CART Fund contributions! But this isn't just about a leaderboard—it's about the millions of families affected by Alzheimer's Disease and our unwavering commitment to finding a cure.

We need a last-ditch effort before the 2025-2026 Rotary year closes so LET'S GOOO!

CLUBS: If you haven't finalized your annual CART giving, please do so today. If you can spare a little more that would be AMAZING!

💡IDEA ALERT: Perhaps some of you competive spirits would be willing to create a match like one generous individual in the Denver/Lake Norman Club did..and it's working. Just 19 days until June 30th!

INDIVIDUALS: Your personal donations can bridge this gap. Every dollar goes directly to pioneering medical research. That's %100!

🎬Action Item: Reach out to District 7670 CART Chair Andie Dent Taylor directly at 704-957-5564 or via messenger to make your contribution. She will personally work with you to ensure your club gets the full recognition and credit it deserves for stepping up.

🌈Let’s empty our pockets/wallets/bank accounts as well as our hearts, and secure our spot as leaders in the fight against Alzheimer’s! Thank you for all of the generosity!

Important Event Reminder: Registration Closed + Please Carpool

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to Race For Philanthropy at Mission Farm — it’s going to be a special evening.

A quick but important update as we approach event day:

If you have not already registered, we unfortunately will not be able to admit you at the event. Attendance is limited to those who have already registered — no walk-ups, substitutions, or additional guests can be accommodated.

If you are registered, please plan to carpool. Parking is limited, and carpooling is essential to ensure a smooth arrival experience for everyone.

We understand coordinating rides isn’t always ideal — but for this event, it truly makes a difference. Even if it’s not your preference, we’re asking everyone to make an exception.

Thank you for helping us keep the evening organized, comfortable, and enjoyable for all guests.

At the heart of the evening’s success is the silent auction and raffle, and the strongest contributions are rarely ordinary items. They are the things people pause for: experiences, access, craftsmanship, something thoughtful, uncommon, or difficult to recreate.

What you contribute becomes more than a prize; it becomes part of the story that inspires others to give.
