Just like other nonprofit organizations, Rehoboth Beach Sunrise Rotary has had nearly all of its fundraising events canceled this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
So, club members looked for an outside event and came up with the first Sunrise Rotary Autumn Bike Ride. Nearly 100 cyclists took part Nov. 7 to raise funds to support Rotary’s education programs, including scholarships, the elementary school dictionary project and Rotary Youth Leadership Award.
Cyclists, leaving from H.O. Brittingham Elementary School in Milton, chose from 25K, 50K and 100K routes.
