Go Canada!
On Feburary, 6, 2010, The Rotaract Club of the University of Lethbridge, a Canadian university, raised nearly $6,000 for Roots and Wings International during their 5th Annual Dinner & Silent Auction.
In total, the auction raised $11,446.94, which will be split between RWI and Malawi Girls on the Move, a not-for-profit organization aimed at providing a quality education for the young women of Malawi, a small country in southeastern Africa.
The auction’s Dr. Seuss theme, in a homage to the beloved children’s author, played with alliteration and nonsense words in its theme: Scholarships, Schools, and Salamagoox. You can view more photos of the auction here. The Rotoract Club did an amazing job with their auction, and all of the money raised will go a long way toward providing higher education for Guatemala’s indigenous youth. We’re eternally grateful!
You can never go wrong with a chocolate fountain!
The Rotaract Club, a division of Rotary International, is a service club for young men and women aged 18-30. Rotoract Clubs are typically community or university-based and are sponsored by a Rotorary International branch.
