WILMINGTON, MA — For the third straight year, the Wilmington Rotary Club will be hosting an Ice Bucket Challenge at Rotary Park on Saturday, August 19 at 10:30am at Rotary Park. All proceeds will go to the Angel Fund.
The last two years, the Club has raised over $10,000 total to donate to the Angel Fund to support research the cure ALS.
The Club is hoping to make this year’s event even bigger than last year’s and would love your help to bring people together and to raise funds for research to find a cure for this terrible disease.
You can help by:
- Sending a donation of any amount to Wilmington Rotary Club at P.O. Box 503, Wilmington, MA 01887.
- Contacting people you know — your child’s coaches, teachers, tutors, etc.
- Spreading the word; the bigger the crowd the larger the impact.
Athletic Director Tim Alberts has committed many of the high school fall teams to attending and participating. Come meet some of the local athletes!
The Club is also soliciting corporate donations. All businesses sponsoring $200 will have a sign that they provide prominently displayed during the ice bucket challenge event.
All of the donations will go to the Angel Fund for A.L.S. research.
