One of our 2020 Interact Students is studying at Russell Sage - He is taking part in a fundraiser: Since 1938, each year Russell Sage College hosts Rally. It is a competition among the classes to raise money for local charities. The class of 2025 has started a GoFundMe page to collect funds. To keep our competition fair, the page will only be active until Wednesday, 2/16 at 9 pm. I was wondering if you could share this page with the Rotarians. This would be a great honor to me because Rally is our largest service endeavor. I have included the link below. The GoFundMe page provides a great description and has links to the charities we are supporting this year. Thank you for your time and consideration, Douglas Sato (he/him/his)
