On August 9, the six BARSHEEP clubs of Rotary District 5160 hosted Care and Share, bringing together Rotarians and guests for an afternoon in support of RotaCare West Contra Costa Free Clinic.
The event paid special tribute to Berkeley Rotarian Dr. Pate Thomson, founding physician of RotaCare WCC, with music, personal reflections, and recognition of his extraordinary service, including commendations from elected leaders.
One of the most moving moments was a testimonial from Sharda Parajuli, who contracted polio as a child and received care and new leg braces through the clinic.
The fundraising results were remarkable: more than $120,000 was raised in sponsorships before the event, with tickets, pledges, raffles, and other contributions adding more than $50,000 on the day. A final total will be announced once outstanding pledges are received.
The event was the result of nine months of planning, collaboration, and generosity, including the volunteer efforts of over 75 BARSHEEP Rotarians. Thank you to everyone who contributed time, talent, sponsorships, donations, and enthusiasm to make Care & Share possible.
Donations are still welcome. If you’d like to support RotaCare WCC, please visit: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/7SBWYRJ2GRVXJ
