A small group of Rotary Club of Lakewood Ranch members will be at Nathan Benderson Park live streaming during the fundraiser.
This year’s goal is to raise $155,000 through donations, funds from Walk for Water, Rotary District 6960 and Rotary International grant funding.
“There’s a synergy and an energy that’s around when people are passionate about helping,” said Laura Adcock, the president of the Rotary Club of Lakewood Ranch. “It’s larger than us. It’s larger than COVID-19. It’s longer lasting. It’s a basic necessity.”

Rotary Club of Lakewood Ranch members and supporters, including an 8-year-old and an octogenarian, are getting creative raising money to bring clean water and sanitation to a village in Peru.
This year’s recipients for the annual Walk for Water event, which will be virtual this year, will be 3,600 people living in the community of Villa Talandracas, Peru. The cost to provide them with a sustainable water system is $150,000, and the money will come from local, Rotary District 6960 and Rotary International grant funding. The Rotary Club of Lakewood Ranch currently serves as the host international club for eight similar projects in Peru.
