Woohoomanity Challenge (Draft)

John and Marga Hewko are our Honorary Chairs.

John is General Secretary and CEO of Rotary, and Marga is Past President of the Chicago 1 Rotary Club. You'll enjoy meeting them... they're both exceptionally friendly and interesting people.  Marga is from Argentina, while John is a founding member of the Kyiv Club.  

Check out their short video inviting everyone to join the fun.

Imagine your home is in ruins and life feels hopeless.

You don’t know how you’ll reach safety... feed your family… or find shelter. Rotary International has already raised $14 million to help the people of Ukraine, plus millions more given by clubs directly. Rotary's efforts are being guided in part by our General Secretary, who played a role in passing the Ukrainian constitution, and in part by our many clubs in the region. It's just one example among hundreds of thousands of service projects we perform every year. Our world's need for help is urgent and immense.

Help more by raising more… it’s easy and effective.

Sign up for the Woohoo and receive a sample email to send to friends and family asking for donations to your club. The email gives a link for them to easily donate online. Costs are unusually low… last year a club raised $108,000 and netted $103,000 for their projects.

Volunteer or Bike… in either of two events.

The Woohoo is a charity partner in both the Denver Century Ride and the Tour de Vineyards in Colorado's Grand Valley. If you ever bike or volunteer - and who hasn't volunteered - you can "do the Woohoo". Riders choose from routes ranging from an easy 23 miles to a challenging 100. Volunteers are crucial and have even more fun... no pedaling! Either way, you can’t beat a gorgeous Colorado day of fellowship with your friends.

Denver Century:   25-mile route info   50-mile   85-mile   100-mile

Tour de Vineyards:   23-mile route info   58-mile

Volunteers help along the routes at snack stations, as course marshals, etc., and at the Start/Finish area giving riders their packets, hosting the Rotary Hospitality Tent, etc.
