Rotary Club of West Bend Foundation Inc

We are a 100-year-old Rotary Club in West Bend, Wisconsin. We have 100 years of working to create jobs, create small businesses, provide youth scholarships, improve public parks, preserve historic buildings, and support the eradication of polio and prior projects to save turtle eggs for release in the ocean. Our work takes place in the US as well as India and El Salvador.

Our current project takes us to El Espino, Usulután, El Salvador. Turtle eggs are eaten by the village residents. But with our Rotary project, along with their help, we can release 30,000 newborn turtles into the Pacific Ocean in 2025.

1,150ish miles to honor our beloved friend and fellow Ice Age Trail runner, Corey Wilcox. Corey was taken too soon by pancreatic cancer in August 2022.

THE ADVENTURE: I will be running the entire Ice Age Trail starting June 3, 2023, to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer Research & The Ice Age Trail Alliance. The Crusade for Corey will start in St. Croix Falls at the western terminus and finish in Sturgeon Bay at the eastern terminus. That is roughly 1,150 miles of running in total, 50-60 miles per day, rain or shine. With Corey running with me in spirit, I will be attempting the supported fastest known time (FKT). My goal will have me completing this crusade in 21 days. My husband, Ben, and our two kiddos, Abel and Johanna, will be my main support throughout this journey!
