The Event

Imagine 1,000 ping pong balls being dropped from a Fire Ladder truck onto targets at Sopris Park in downtown Carbondale! It's all happening on May 6th! 
 
Get ready for the second annual Fireball Drop, brought to you by Ace Hardware of Carbondale and benefiting Carbondale Rotary! Purchase adoption tickets for only $20 apiece for a chance to win the grand prize of $5,000! 
 
Look for tickets for sale from our Rotarians and Mt. Sopris Rotary Club and City Market Carbondale outside Ace Hardware in Carbondale at select times and through our youth non-profit partners, Ascendigo, Roaring Fork Soccer Club and YouthZone!
 

The Cause

The Fireball Drop is a one-of-a-kind event in support of the service work of Rotary Club of Carbondale. Each ticket is tax-deductible and all proceeds after expenses fund our scholarships for local high school students, our local non-profit donations, and service projects both here in Carbondale and worldwide through Rotary International. 

First Friday Fun!

Plans for the Fireball Drop include having members of the Carbondale and Rural Fire Protection District drop the balls from their ladder truck onto a field with targets in Sopris Park! Will your ticket match the ball closest to the target? Come see for yourself or watch online on Facebook!
