The Colonie-Guilderland Rotary Club hosted their third annual Amazing Race To Recovery event from February 13-21, 2021. The 8-day event was held 100% Virtually.
They raised $10,800 in 2019. $15,750 in 2020. $16,507 in 2021. In total over 3 years they have raised $43,057. 100% of the money raised goes to Second Chance Opportunities, at 55 Colvin Avenue in Albany. They support those in recovery by offering housing, jobs, coaching, and whatever support those in recovery (and their friends and families) need.
Due to Covid-19 we have suspended some of our normal fund raising events.
Any donations to the Club will be used wisely and greatly appreciated.
Our fundraising supports various programs such as Albany Ronald McDonald House, Guilderland Food Pantry, college scholarships for local students, Pure Water for the World, St. Jude Children’s Hospital, the recovery community including Second Chance Opportunities, and the Rotary Foundation.
Due to Covid-19, our golf tournament in 2020 was cancelled.
Plans for the 2021 golf event will be announced in 2021.
Thanks for the support of Rotary Clubs and others that donanted to our Communtiy Filter Project in Honduras.

The total project cost is approx. $77,000.
We were also able to provide $15,600 in support a project to provide training in hygiene, install of 35 individual home filters, and construct 21 latrines and 5 rain water harvesting tanks in Las Mieles. Total project cost $22,500
