Join our hosts, Rotary International Vice President Valarie Wafer, and Rotary Foundation Trustee, Dean Rohrs, for our Fundraising Gala on Wednesday, February 23, 2022, at 8:00 pm ET.   Special guests include RI President-Elect Jennifer Jones, Director-Elect Drew Kessler, and our MC for the evening, Past-Director Jeffry Cadorette.

This 90-minute, fast-paced event celebrates the work by every Rotarian in the 43 Districts of Zones 28 & 32 to support and raise funds for The Rotary Foundation. It is simple for your District to participate.  The show will be created for you - all you have to do is promote it!
 

BUYING TICKETS

Tickets to the virtual event are available by following the link on the Zone website or clicking this link to Buy Gala Admission Tickets.

Each Gala ticket includes a contribution of $100 USD to The Rotary Foundation, allocated 75% to the Annual Fund and 25% to PolioPlus. Your gift will be a fully credited donation to TRF - and you will receive a charitable tax receipt, and related Paul Harris Fellowship points. Plus, each donation is credited towards your District's Foundation Goals. 

As you purchase your Gala Admission Tickets, Rotarians have the opportunity to increase their contribution with additional donations. This gives Rotarians, their clubs, and Districts the opportunity to DO MORE GOOD and meet the goals they have all set for Foundation donations this year.


HYBRID CELEBRATION!

Districts and clubs are invited to join us at your own in-person celebrations. Our President-Elect Jennifer and Director-Elect Drew will lead us on a tour of Zones 28 & 32 from just before the show kick-off time of 8:00pm eastern. They will drop-in LIVE at selected events and join your gatherings from Alaska to Bermuda and all points in between. Events can be house parties, pub gatherings, or ballroom events. If you are interested in having us visit your venue or event in your District, let us know by emailing Chair Peter Schultz at peter.rotary5060@gmail.com

Note that we need everyone at your event to purchase a ticket to the Celebration Gala - after all, this is a fundraiser for The Rotary Foundation!

If you have not made your donation this year to your Rotary Foundation, you are IN LUCK. You can now do so and be part of a great show at the same time. It is your Rotary Foundation donations that allows Rotary to give back to the World and to Your Community.  

Your District 7070 with 55 clubs, and 1840 members is part of Zone 28 with 1062 clubs and 33,971 members.

Last year we bought 44 tickets with donations of $11,500 and ended up in 4th place. I know we can be in first place this year with your help . We have a $ 25,000 goal this year .

PLEASE CONSIDER some of that LUNCH MONEY we have all been saving during our world of Covid on Zoom and support your Foundation.

The Entertainment below will be Fantastic. See you at the Gala
