Dear Rotarians,

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart to every single one of you that invested your hearts, precious time and energy into making Race for Philanthropy a spectacular event. I am in awe of the power of your kindness, patience, perseverance, camaraderie, teamwork and generosity. 

Thank you, although those two words are not enough to pay tribute to the unbelievable work that Ross Bulla, and Michelle Busch, and every Rotarian put in to creating this magical evening.

At its heart, Rotary is a sanctuary of friendship and care built on the ideal that "Service Above Self" is the surest form of success. 

It is a global movement where empathy is not just a feeling, but a catalyst for action, transforming the "Why" of individual caring into a "How" of community and worldwide impact. 

I saw that all embodied and in action at Race for Philanthropy!

You, my dear friends and Rotarians prove that souls generated by love and hearts full of grace can truly change our community and the world.

With Endless Gratitude,

Trudie
