Nassau, Bahamas -
On the 19th of March, 2011 the Rotaract Clubs
of the Bahamas hosted their first “Cancer Walk”. It was the first project on
which the Rotaract Clubs of The Bahamas collaborated together. In addition, the
community service project was organized in honour of celebrating World Rotaract
Week, in solidarity with the other Rotaract clubs in District 7020. The event
was supported by both Rotarians and partakers from the community, and the
refreshments were provided by Aquapure Water Ltd. Participants were asked to wear blue in honour of National
Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and walked from Arawak Cay to Goodman’s Bay
and back to show their support for all aspects of cancer that affects our
society from pediatric cancer to breast cancer.
In keeping with their motto
“Service above Self”, all proceeds donated were presented to the president of
the Cancer Society Mr. Earle Bethell to assist with the day to day running of
the organization.
Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club
for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs are usually
community-based or university-based and are sponsored by a local Rotary club
making them true
"partners in service" and key members of the
Rotary family.
