Rotary Foundation

Rotary Foundation - your support helps provide valuable support to the Rotary Foundation programs, which include Polio Plus (eradicating Polio worldwide), Disaster Recovery (total contributions to this program are $6.4 million), District Grants (support the service activities of Rotary Clubs locally and abroad), Peace Fellowships, Group Study Exchanges, Ambassadorial Scholarships (youth). Help support a remote community that lacks clean water, improve the environment, or provide scholarships to educate the next generation. Rotary also supports a number of local beneficiaries in the Redlands community.

a. Men's sheds, to help connect men with their communities and mainstream society and at the same time act as a catalyst in stimulating their community's economic activities.

b. Vitae 'Champs Camps' provide at risk youth with the environment in which to make life changing decisions. We donated $1,500.
