Throughout the past year, 23 Rotary clubs collected nearly 3,000 gently used mobility devices from communities across our district. 

The initiative was led by Bill Leonard and the Stillwater Sunrise Rotary Club, whose outstanding leadership, coordination, and commitment have been the driving force behind Crutches 4 Africa in our district for many years. Their vision and dedication ensure this life-changing project continues to grow and make a difference. 

The effort culminated on June 6 and 7, when Rotarians and volunteers gathered to sort, organize, and load a 53-foot semi-trailer. By the end of the weekend, the trailer was filled with 2,680 mobility devices and related equipment bound for Mexico, where the items will provide life-changing assistance to thousands of individuals and families.

District Governor Glenn Bowers joined volunteers in the loading effort, helping celebrate another successful year of one of District 5960's signature service projects.
