2015 Giving Tuesday

 

Connect. Serve. Celebrate. The Power of Rotary.

On National Philanthropy Day 2015 (November 15), The Rotary Club of Edmonton kicked off a 100 day social media awareness campaign to connect, serve, and celebrate The Power of Rotary and 100 years of #ServiceAboveSelf in the Greater Edmonton community and across Rotary International District 5370.
 
The Centennial Community Outreach Team invites you to join The Power of 100: Rotarians in Community. We will be giving and volunteering in the community starting on GivingTuesday (December 1, 2015).
 
Stay tuned for opportunities to connect, serve, and celebrate right through to Rotary International's anniversary on February 23 and our club's 100th on April 1, 2016.
 
For more information, please contact Stacey Scott Nykolyshyn via Club Runner.

On GivingTuesday, consider a gift to The Rotary Club of Edmonton Community Service Trust Fund.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people — children, families, and entire communities — benefit from projects funded through this fund and The Rotary Foundation.  When you give to Rotary, you help create sustainable solutions to our local and global community's most pressing needs.

As informed Rotarians, we give back in countless ways, with our time, talents, and treasure and we focus our service efforts in six areas: promoting peace, fighting disease, providing clean water, saving mothers and children, supporting education and literacy programs, and growing local community and economic development.

With your support of our GivingTuesday and Centennial Legacy Project campaign, we can do even more.  DONATE NOW.
