Rotary to fundraise for Ukraine and grants at International Dance for Peace – Mercer Island, Washington-USA
August 24, 2022
Event is set for Sept. 18, 2022, at Mercer Island Community and Event Center.
Promoting world peace is an integral component of Rotary International’s mission, said Beth Baska, president of the Mercer Island Rotary Club Foundation Board.
As the Mercer Island club stands strong in that effort, it will be hosting an International Dance for Peace on Sept. 18. Slated from 3-5 p.m. at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center, the local club will unveil this inaugural event in direct connection with the annual International Day of Peace on Sept. 21.

In addition to raising funds for its international grants to support clean water, education, healthcare, food baskets and more in a host of countries, the foundation aims to notch $25,000 through its “1,000 Hearts for Peace in Ukraine” fundraiser for humanitarian supplies. Hearts will cost $25 each and will be available for purchase online and at the event.
