Buy your Red Ball Express tickets and support your Boys & Girls Club today!
Red Ball Express is an annual fundraiser of the four Rotary Clubs in La Plata County. Purchasing a ticket for $5 adopts two red fitness balls for the ticket holder. On February 11, 2012 at 4:00 pm, over 100 red balls will race down Durango Mountain Resort. The first pair to get to the bottom of the course wins that ticket holder $5,000 cash! The second pair wins that ticket holder $2,000 cash, and the third pair to finish the course will win $1,000. As an added bonus, for the 10th year of the Red Ball Express the first place winner could win $25,000! Come out and participate in this fun event!
