Limited Time Paul Harris Campaign - Update 10
We're at 3 weeks and counting as the match begins to wind down for 2025.  We've had a great ride so far - during the match's 70 days, 163 Rotarians representing 33 of our 55 clubs have pledged a total of $137,802!  We're averaging $1,969 per day!
 
Significantly, 96 of these 163 contributors have taken advantage of the match to either become a first-time Paul Harris Fellow or reached a new Paul Harris Fellow level by virtue of their contribution and its match.  And 5 have reached Major Donor status.  Congratulations!
 
If you're one of the 163 who has already contributed, thank you so very much for your generous contribution.  It's your contributions to the Annual Fund-SHARE that ensures District 5870 has the wherewithal to provide community DAP Grants, career and technology scholarships, district service projects and international humanitarian grants.  None of this would be possible without your support.
