Rotary’s 14th Annual Dancing & Tapas Event

Tickets are now on sale for Rotary’s 14th annual Dancing & Tapas event.

Tickets are now on sale for Campbell River Daybreak Rotary’s 14th annual Dancing & Tapas event.

This event is a major fundraiser for Campbell River Rotary’s international effort to provide for the needs of people in many countries around the world. This year the focus of fundraising is to bring “wheelchairs and more” to those in need in the Central American nation of Guatemala.

The money goes towards purchasing not only wheelchairs, but also walkers, transfer boards, crutches and other medical devices that help people with physical ailments and challenges. There will also be a local physiotherapist joining the Rotarians who accompany the medical equipment to Guatemala who will join with a physiotherapist from the U.S. and they will provide training for Guatemala hospital staff in movement and rehabilitation of patients.

Over the years, the two Rotary Clubs of Campbell River have delivered 11 containers of wheelchairs to more than 3,000 people in 11 different countries.

This year’s event will be held at the Campbell River Community Centre on April 30 and tickets are $75 and can be picked up at Thongs Jewellery and Repairs, IRIS Campbell River, through the event Facebook page or at https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/14th-annual-dancing-tapas-tickets-291569130117?aff=ebdssbdestsearch
