Why We Run
Rotary is a service organization with a motto of "Service Above Self".
​
This race helps fund:

Literacy projects in Oconee County. For example, funds are donated to buy books through Scholastic Books for area elementary schools. In addition, we also have an annual book drive with other area Rotary Clubs to collect to books to give to organizations that are helping families that may not be able to purchase books for their children
-

Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day.
