 Annual Fundraiser & Gala 

 

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 5, 2019, 6:30 PM and join us at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in Bloomington for our biggest party of the year!

 

The money raised at the Fundraiser allows our club to support many local and international projects, which continue year-after-year because of the commitment of our Rotary Club of Edina members and community members.  These projects include: 

 

  • Camp Enterprise: Weekend camp on the free enterprise system
  • Cornerstone: Advocacy and protection services for victims of abuse
  • Feed My Starving Children: We purchase food and assemble food packets for international delivery
  • Leadership Ethics Seminar: Ethics workshop for Edina High School students
  • Interact Club: Rotary club for ages 12-18, sponsored by the two Edina Rotary clubs
  • Rotaract Club: Rotary club for young professionals ages 18-30, chartered by the two Edina Rotary clubs
  • Escuintla, Guatemala: Delivering clean water and sanitation to an entire town
  • Coban, Guatemala: Partners in an international collaboration that brought water filtration units to remote mountain villages outside Coban
