Our "Paddling to END POLIO Rubber Duck Race" Raises $47,500 To Help Eradicate Polio

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT SPONSORED A RUBBER DUCK!

What a picture perfect day to have our "Paddling for Polio Rubber Duck Race" at Jordan Ranch Recreation Center in Katy.

For the inaugural run it was lots of fun and THANK YOU to all that sold or bought ducks. Thanks to our "Rubber Duck Sponsors" we raised $47,500 which will be donated to The Rotary Foundation's End Polio Now Fund.

We sold over 2,500 ducks and had a lot take advantage of the 6 ducks for $100.

Thanks to our Co-Chairs Paul & Karen Kurt for all of the hard work and to Karen’s support team from the Rotary Club of Houston Energy Corridor and our duck catchers Art Bautista and Ryan who we hope we convince to join Rotary.
