Enthusiastic local Rotary members joined the Bronxville team on the October 6th Westchester Walk to End Alzheimer's. Over $750K was raised, with donations still welcome, towards the $1 million dollar goal.
Our goal is to raise US$50 million for the PolioPlus Fund in 2024-25. Every dollar you donate, up to $50 million, will be matched 2-to-1 by the Gates Foundation. We encourage each club to contribute at least US$1,500 to PolioPlus. Clubs that meet this goal will receive a certificate of appreciation recognizing their vital contribution to this global effort.
You can find social media messages, educational and event materials, and more in the End Polio Now Resource Center to support the fundraising efforts of the Rotary Club of Bronxville.
Thank you for your leadership and your dedication to Doing Good in the World. Together, we end polio.
Sincerely,
The Rotary Foundation

Groundwork Hudson Valley
Bridgette Griswold (Executive Director) gave a spirited presentation on the Groundwork Hudson Valley. The Yonkers-based organization works with community residents to restore the urban landscape, promoting long-term economic and environmental neighborhood renewal. Groundwork has uncovered polluted rivers, turned an abandoned train line into a new greenway, and transformed vacant lots into urban farms and playgrounds. Their Science Barge is an important educational resource on the Hudson River.
The National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service consider Groundwork’s youth programs among the best in the nation. Groundwork Hudson Valley won the 2017 Outstanding Careers & Technical Education Partner of the Year Award from Yonkers Public Schools and the National Park Service 2016 Centennial Volunteer Challenge Award among others.
