With the coordinated efforts of Seaside Rotary’s Playa del Carmen RC and Rotaract, Kicks4Kids brought almost 300 pairs of new sneakers to the children living in the remote village of Nuevo Noh Bec. It was a long and at times emotional day but you wouldn’t know it by looking at the big smiles on all those little faces.

Seaside Rotary’s 1st ‘Yappy Hour’ Pet Parade a Huge Hit! 31 October 2022 – The Rotary Club of Playa del Carmen Seaside held its 1st Annual “Yappy Hour” Dog Parade and Costume Contest on Sunday, October 30 and the results from the judges are in. 

The Rotary Club of Playa del Carmen Seaside´s 7th annual Riviera Maya Cook-Off was a resounding success!

With support from some very generous friends back in the Unites States, Seaside Rotarian Judy Walburn was able to gather enough funds to purchase 400 pairs of brand new sneakers in support of the club´s Kicks4Kids program. Kicks4Kids, an ongoing sneaker drive, became a Seaside Rotary program in 2014. 

If you live in Playa del Carmen you may have seen Judy Walburn wearing her colorful shirt as she collects donations of children’s sneakers or you may have seen her in Los Tres Hermanos buying more than 100 pairs of children’s shoes at a time.

The Rotary Club of Playa del Carmen Seaside’s 8th annual Riviera Maya Cook-Off was an overwhelming success! The competition was fierce this year and the numbers were very close but, in the end, three chili chefs came out on top!
