A hybrid event – in-person and online – was successfully held on Saturday, April 3, 2021, where Rotarians and friends from the San Diego-Tijuana community attended the Rotary Club of Coronado Binacional Ninth Anniversary Gala to raise funds for the club’s ongoing projects, primarily the construction of water treatment plants for nine schools located in the rural area of Nueva Rosita, Coahuila, Mexico. Hosting a top fashion show and live concert by local talent, the in-person portion of the event was held in Torre Cosmopolitan, only minutes away from the San Ysidro port of entry, with strict adherence to hygiene guidelines.
All proceeds from the event will fund Rotary’s efforts to provide clean water to schools and children in rural areas as well as other club projects.
“Our cause efforts have been possible thanks to the support of 19 Rotary Clubs and 10 districts that joined our water project. Our mission is to continue with this type of action for the benefit of the most vulnerable population.”
~ Joselyn Mejia, President of Rotary Club of Coronado Binacional
Rotary members improve lives and bring positive, lasting change to communities around the world by promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, supporting education, saving mothers and children, and growing local economies. Rotary’s top priority is the global eradication of polio. Rotary launched its polio immunization program, PolioPlus, in 1985, and in 1988 became a leading partner in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.
