Mayor's Challenge Raises More than $150,000

From Alpharetta Convention & Visitors Bureau:

The Alpharetta Mayor’s Challenge Race is Alpharetta Rotary’s largest fundraiser for the year. Rotary raised over $150,000 at the 2016 event. These dollars will be used to directly support local charities such as, North Fulton Community Charities, Drake House, Homestretch, Lionheart School, YMCA, Boy Scouts of America and many others. The funds also have a global impact on Polio Eradication, Literacy, Clean Water Projects and Humanitarian and medical aid.

Alpharetta Rotarians continue to raise money throughout the year that will also be used to fund the development of new programs that will benefit a variety of organizations that need help on an ongoing basis.

“The Alpharetta Rotary Club members are very excited and grateful for the dollars that were raised this year by the Mayor’s Challenge. Those dollars will be put to great use where they are needed most in our community,” said Jason Binder, president of the Alpharetta Rotary Club.

The Alpharetta Rotary 5K Mayor’s Corporate Challenge was made possible by the generosity of its corporate sponsors: presenting sponsor LexisNexis Risk Solutions and silver sponsors Wellstar and Choate Construction.
