Rod Funderburk presented the North Charleston Rotary Club with greater insight into the power of the Rotary Foundation CART.

Funderburk is a past Rotary District 7770 District Governor and now is an ambassador for the CART Fund.

The CART Fund provides funds for cutting edge research to cure Alzheimer’s disease.

CART started in 1996 with Rotarians voluntarily emptying their pockets and purses of change at weekly meetings.

One hundred percent (100%) of donated funds go to cutting edge Alzheimer’s Disease research. As of May 2020, CART has awarded $9.2 million dollars in 55 grants to recognized US research institutions. All administrative expenses of the Fund are paid from interest earned from invested contributions.
