Lake in the Hills Rotary Club donates $10,000 to Cal's Angels
The Rotary Club of Lake in the Hills recently awarded $10,000 to Cal's Angels, a 501(c)(3) pediatric cancer foundation with a mission of granting wishes, raising awareness, and funding research to help kids fighting cancer.
Because we have lived the battle with pediatric cancer, we understand what these families are going through. The help that we provide these families through our programs is a great resource when they need it the most. The funds were obtained during this years Rockin' Rotary Ribfest from tips received during the fest.
