Foundation Minute for Week of May 23Everyone looks for different and effective fundraisers for Rotary Foundation! Here are a few:
The Binghamton Philharmonic held a Mac ‘n Cheese Festival. Various restaurants and bars offered their signature macaroni and cheese for a tasting contest – and local microbreweries were present to wash the samples down! The event was advertised on the web and sold 1000 tickets within one week!
A Rotary club up north holds a golf tournament in January!! This tournament is played with a colored ball – a white one would certainly get lost in the snow banks. They play only nine holes and have great fun.
And of course how about a short dip in Lake Champlain– in December! Members of District 7190 sell sponsorships for the event each year and it brings in loads of funds for the Foundation.
The Unadilla Rotary in District 7170- annually holds a pie contest – who can make the best one? The event is sold out and everyone goes home filled and happy.
Whitney Point Rotary holds a Lobster Dinner. Members drive to Maine from New York State to pick up the little critters, and the dinners are consistently sold out!
The Trumansburg Rotary sells raffle tickets for a three-minute free shopping trip through a local supermarket!! The winner receives the chance to fill a shopping cart with as much as he/her can pick up within the time limit.
Great ideas to benefit the Rotary Foundation!!
