The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) announced that the 30th Annual Spencerport Rotary MDA Road Block held on September 16 raised $2,723 to help free kids and adults from the harm of muscular dystrophy, ALS and related life-threatening diseases that severely weaken muscle strength and mobility.
Spencerport Rotary: service above self; “People of Action.” From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their professional lives.
Over the years, Spencerport Rotary has sponsored many events and raised funds for many different projects that include their yearly dictionary distribution to local schools, food shelf, MDA Road Block, Open Door Mission and many more, while raising critical funds and awareness to find urgently needed treatments and cures for families in the Rochester area affected by muscle-debilitating diseases.
Spencerport Rotary has raised $2,723 to support individuals and families throughout the Rochester area with life-enhancing resources and services that open new possibilities and maximize independence so they can experience the world without any limits.
Contributions also help MDA’s efforts to fund groundbreaking research and programs support groups and more than 150 MDA Care Centers across the country, including the MDA Care Center at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester. Additionally, they help send local kids to “the best week of the year” at MDA Summer Camp at no cost to their families at MDA Summer Camp at Rotary Sunshine Campus.
