Thanksgiving 2021 Fundraisers

THANK YOU for GIVING!

Thank you to all Rotarians, family members, and friends who donated food and money for this year's Thanksgiving fundraisers for the Gray House and Christina's House in Springfield. Thanks to your generosity, over $350 were donated to the Gray House in addition to food donations, and $900 were donated to the families at Christina's House in Springfield. Each family will receive a $45 Visa Gift card to purchase Thanksgiving dinner!

Support Rotary Foundation

Three ways to support our Rotary Foundation

Every November, we celebrate The Rotary Foundation. Your support and generous gifts to the Foundation make it possible for us to be people of action and engage in life-changing projects worldwide. Here are three ways you can help maximize the effectiveness of our year-end giving campaigns and increase the amount of good we can do:

Encourage your members to make a gift to the Foundation on Giving Tuesday, which is 1 December. Share our video message
Give the gift of Rotary this holiday season. Share our digital flyer with members and potential donors.
Learn more about our new peer-to-peer fundraising tool, Raise for Rotary, where you can create fundraising pages that are easy to share with family and friends through social media and email.
