Let’s Have Some Fun & Raise Money for the Rotary Foundation!
We’re launching a new club fundraiser to support the Rotary Foundation!
What is the Rotary Foundation? The Rotary Foundation is Rotary International’s charitable arm, turning Rotarian contributions into projects that promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, support education, and strengthen communities around the world.
To raise funds, our club will be collecting donated items from Rotarians to auction or raffle off during upcoming meetings. Depending on the item’s value and the time available, we might hold a live auction, silent auction, or offer chances to win. We’d like to mix it up and try a few different things along the way!
What can you donate? Almost anything that might be fun or valuable to a fellow Rotarian—company swag, gift certificates, themed baskets, homemade goodies or crafts, services, experiences, or something unique you think others would enjoy.
Have an item to donate—or a creative idea for the fundraiser? Contact Nicole Laurin with your donations and suggestions.
Let’s have some fun, create a little friendly competition, and most importantly, raise some money for the Rotary Foundation!
