Welcome
Rotarians in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and some areas of Texas and Kentucky are the sponsors of The CART Fund (Coins for Alzheimer’s Research Trust) dedicated to raising funds to provide the “seed” money for cutting edge, high impact research in hopes of finding a cure/prevention for Alzheimer’s disease.
In order to accomplish this, Rotarians are encouraged to voluntarily empty their pockets of change, or what ever amount they choose, whenever they attend a Rotary meeting.
Vision
Continue to promote funding for research for the cure of Alzheimer’s Disease. All Clubs in participating Districts will continue maximum support of CART. CART will expand to other Districts. Contributions to The CART Fund will be made easier for Rotarians and non-Rotarians.
Mission
Promote to District Governors to include CART participation in their club achievement awards. Improve training of District CART Chairs, including expansion of District CART committees. Optimize the web site to ensure the CART story is available and easily found to all who seek ways to improve/cure Alzheimer’s through research. Have a presence at District events including, Conference, Assemblies, and PETS. Institute a reception for DGN’s at Zone meetings. Improve communication throughout the CART organization.
