92 Years of Service

Opportunities to Make a Difference

Rotary is a worldwide network of inspired individuals who translate their passion into relevant social causes to change lives in communities. We provide a wonderful opportunity for ordinary people to do extraordinary things- like provide new winter coats and dictionaries to children living in need, food to the hungry, clean water to the thirsty and shelter to the homeless. These are just a few of the amazing accomplishments initiated by members of our club:

Annually provide hundreds of Chicago area children living in need with new winter coats.

Sponsored dozens of Ambassadorial Scholars for graduate studies overseas.

Partnered with other Rotary Clubs to fund a prosthetics clinic in Bolivia, digital x-ray machines in Guatemala and a deep water well for an orphanage in Kenya.

Established a highly successful micro-lending program in Uganda.

Rescued scores of African civil war refugees from a life of slavery.

Built a library at an orphanage in Vietnam.

Sponsored "Holes for Heroes" charity golf tournament and dinner to raise money for organizations providing support for veterans and their families suffering from PTSD.

Provided ShelterBoxes for disaster relief in Haiti, the Philippines and other areas after natural disasters.

Annually provide financial support to local community organizations in Chicago and the North Shore.

Since 1985, financially support Rotary's effort eradicate polio from the world, a goal that is "This Close" to being accomplished.
