NEWS RELEASE
ROTARY CLUB OF CAMBRIDGE
*************************
The Rotary Clubs of Cambridge along with many other clubs and Rotarians in southwest Ontario have joined the campaign to “Help India Breathe” with an initiative to establish Rotary Oxygen Banks in India. This is a Rotary initiative with clubs around the world helping.

The Oxygen Bank would loan oxygen concentrators to patients in need with the provision that after the immediate crisis is over, the concentrator would be returned to the Oxygen Bank and available to others, helping multiple patients and potentially saving many lives. 

The price of each concentrator is approximately US$1,000. Local Cambridge Rotarians have sent over $12,000 to support this international relief project as part of a total of over $110,000 from Rotary District 7080 clubs in Southwestern Ontario.

For almost 100 years, Cambridge Rotarians have raised funds through special events to support local area charities and not-for-profits, dispersing financial aid to many deserving organizations and their very worthy projects and initiatives.  As well, funds are donated and leveraged to support Rotary International projects that impact the global community in a meaningful way.
