The Sycamore and DeKalb Rotary Clubs joined forces in the wake of the devastating earthquake in Haiti; representatives from each Club were at their respective high schools on Friday, January 22nd, collecting funds for Haiti relief on behalf of Shelter Box USA.
Fans of Sycamore and DeKalb basketball were asked to donate towards earthquake relief, as part of the worldwide outpouring of aid towards Haiti in general, and through Shelter Box in particular. As a result of their combined efforts, the two Rotary Clubs raised $250.00 for Haiti survivors.
Shelter Box USA is a Global Rotary Club Project which provides emergency shelter and supplies to the survivors of disasters. Each Shelter Box contains a tent, blankets, tools, cooking equipment, water purification kits and other essentials...enough to support 10 persons, for a minimum of six months following a major disaster. |
