We are conducting our annual Suburban Rotary Charitable Foundation fundraiser for the next several weeks. Our goal is 40K. We ask every Rotarian to make a donation of any size to support all of our great projects. Donors of $300 or more (pledge or cash) will be recognized as members of the President's Scholarship Circle. Examples that your donations support are our global grants to Afghanistan and Togo, the homeless foot clinic, meal packaging, donations to veterans, and support for Crestridge school. YOU make all this possible! CLICK HERE TO DONATE ONLINE
Thank you to those who have already donated or pledged support this year! (Scholarship Circle members are in bold)
