Rotary Foundation Annual Fund Awareness Contest Kicks Off October 1

The Rotary Foundation’s Annual Fund or Annual Funda-SHARE is key to ensuring that lives are changed both at home and abroad.

What impact can one donation have?

Dollars are transformed into grants – global and district! As shared on the Rotary Foundation homepage:

  • For as little as 60 cents, a child can be protected from polio.
  • $50 can provide clean water to help fight waterborne illness.
  • $500 can launch an antibullying campaign and create a safe environment for children.

From October 1, 2020 – November 30, 2020, we will be shedding light on the power of the Rotary Foundation with our Fall Foundation Awareness/Giving contest!

How it Works

Complete as MANY of the activities you can below by Saturday, December 5. As you do, email your activity to our Rotary Foundation Chair, Stacy Bouwman (stacy.bouwman@gmail.com) and she will tally up your points!

Once you earn 1,000 points, you will receive a Paul Harris recognition – A distinguished recognition that acknowledges individuals who contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of $1,000 to the Rotary Foundation. Throughout the contest, Stacy will be giving status updates and keep us plugged in on what the winner board is looking like.
