In a two-day initiative (April 19th & 20th, 2024), Rotary Midtown, along with District 3191, embarked on the RACE Road Show, traveling from Bangalore to Mangalore and back. This unique campaign aimed to spread awareness about cancer prevention and early detection through Rotary’s Answer to Cancer Enigma (RACE) program.
Why RACE?

Spreading the Message:

This encourages proactive steps towards health and well-being, ultimately reducing cancer’s impact.
Together We Can Conquer Cancer:
Rotary Midtown and District 3191 invite everyone to join the fight against cancer. By working together, the spirit of service above self can create a future where cancer is a conquerable challenge, not a dreaded enigma.
