Ralph Rotella: Cobbler to Champion
At the New York State Fair, Ralph Rotella, who began collecting shoes for charity in 2011, was presented as the Today’s Option Champion. A Today’s Options Champion is someone who is using his or her time and talent to make a difference in the lives of an aging population. The vote was tallied previously, but today he was officially named the Grand Champion. Rotella won $10,000 for his charity, the Rescue Mission Alliance.
