SAVE THE DATE! January 25, 2020 - Mission 10 Race
Posted by Amalia Ellis on Jun 01, 2019

The 37th Annual Mission 10 Race is set for Saturday, January 25, 2020 in beautiful and historic San Juan Bautista, CA. 
 
Race Day Registration begins at 7:15am. We need all Rotarians to help on the day of the race to make sure our biggest fundraiser of the year runs smoothly. Our 2019 was a record breaker with more than 765 people participating and we raised more money than ever. Let's crush it again in 2020 and make it the best one yet! Registration will be live in the coming weeks at Mission10.com. Stay tuned for more details.

The Rotary Club of Hollister was founded in 1925 and lives by the motto "Service Above Self." Hollister Rotary's major fundraiser is the Annual Mission 10 Race, which takes place the last Saturday in January at the Mission San Juan Bautista. The club also raises funds throughout the year by participating in the Saddle Horse Show and Rodeo in late June and other smaller fundraisers. 
 
Rotary brings together a global network of volunteer leaders dedicated to tackling the world’s most pressing humanitarian challenges. Rotary connects 1.2 million members of more than 34,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Their work impacts lives at both the local and international levels, from helping families in need in their own communities to working toward a polio-free world.
