Trinity Triathlon

This initiative is in the ideation stage.  Members are considering different venues, events, and approaches.  Our goals for this initiative go well beyond fundraising.  We hope to introduce a new tradition that brings our community together, brings new visitors to our county, and creates a fun and healthy experience for everyone.

Team Up Against Polio

Rotary has been working to eradicate Polio for more than 35 years.  Team Up Against Polio brings the Rotary Club of Weaverville together with local youth sports teams to raise funds for the ongoing efforts to eradicate Polio.  Our 2022 fundraiser with the Trinity Preparatory Academy Girls Volleyball Teams raised over $2,000.  The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s ($2 to $1) match turned our $1,500 into $4,500.  The Girls Volleyball Teams earned $500 for equipment, uniforms, and tournament expenses.
