The Rotary Club of St. Petersburg Sunset is putting together a team of Rotarians, family and friends to run in the first annual Rock and Roll Half Marathon in downtown St. Petersburg on February 12, 2012. We would like encourage our fellow members of District 6950 to join us as runners or walkers to complete the 13.1 miles along downtown St. Petersburg’s gorgeous waterfront. We will be running or walking for our own health, but also to help raise awareness for Rotary (more specifically Rotary clubs in District 6950) and the Childrens' Dream Fund. Our club is sponsoring this Rotary event, but we are trying to gather support from other local clubs in our district. Meet the team here.

Not a runner or walker? No problem!  We are also looking for spectators and cheerleaders at the event or through donations to support the Children’s Dream Fund and the Rotary Sunset Foundation. You can make online donations using the widget to the right, or on the Sunset Club's main website. If you would like to make a tax deductible donation via check you can make it payable to the Sunset Rotary Foundation and it can be mailed to: PO Box 757, St. Petersburg, FL 33731.
