The District’s largest giving event for The Rotary Foundation is this year’s 37th Annual Foundation Celebration and this event will be extra special as we have not had the pleasure of being in person for more than two years. Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 6th, 2021, at the Skirball Cultural Center at 2701 N Sepulveda Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90049 from 5pm - 10pm.
The Silent and Live Auctions along with the Opportunity Drawing raise funds for The Rotary Foundation providing such projects as Global Grants and District Community Grants serving needs around the world and in local communities, supporting education, promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, growing local economics, saving mothers and children and protecting the environment.
One of the goals of The Rotary Foundation is at least a $100 donation from “Every Member, Every Year.” District 5280 makes it more fun and interesting by offering the opportunity to donate or purchase Silent and Live Auction items or Drawing Tickets. Thank you for your continuing support of The Rotary Foundation.
In Rotary Service,
