On November 18th, 2023, Rotary District 5040 held a District foundation dinner. This was an opportunity to celebrate the Rotary Foundation and thank everyone who has supported the foundation. And most importantly, an opportunity to raise money for the Foundation and all the important causes it supports.  The Rotary Foundation (TRF) is among the most respected charitable organizations in the world. From eradicating polio to promoting world understanding, peace and goodwill, the Foundation is the tool by which Rotary makes a meaningful difference in the lives of others. The Foundation’s funds come largely from club and district contributions and personal giving by Rotarians and others. At the Foundation Dinner, members of Rotary District 5040 - the 48 Rotary clubs from Vancouver up the coast to Prince Rupert, raised $23,000! This will go towards projects such as winter coats and boots for kids, a valley trail viewing platform, an off leash dog park, seniors’ outdoor fitness stations, lower income family kids sponsored for summer camp, and for young musicians to participate in a youth orchestra. The funds will all go to the The Rotary Foundation - one of the highest ranked international foundations over the past 15 years.
The funds come back to District 5040 and become available to clubs applying for grants to provide projects of service to their communities.
Thanks to all the Richmond Rotarians who attended this great event. |
