Fundraising Overview

 
The Fundraising Committee provides additional fundraising support to club activities so that our projects in the local and international communities can be supported.  This year the Rotary Club of Emerald and District is focusing more on local needs as the long term impact of COVID19 impacts families in the local area. 
 
Fundraising isn't easy in the light of a difficult 2020 and long haul 2021, but we keep raising funds as much as we can!

Sausage Sizzle Returns

We are hoping to hold regular sausage sizzles at Emerald Village Meats througout the year.  The sizzle on 23rd January raised much needed funds to assist in the community.  Thank you to everyone who supported us.  Look out for our next venture on 26th March!!

Virtual Wine and Cheese Evening
Although we were limited by lock-down in 2020, the Fundraising Committee organised a virtual Wine and Cheese evening for our members with the kind support of Olinda Cellars - providing wine at a sponsorship rate and contributing to the fundraising total by giving the club a % of post event sales.  Quite remarkable when they must  have been doing it tough at the time as well.  The event raised approximately $600.  Bags with goodies and tastings of 4 wines were distributed within COVID restrictions and a great evening was had by us all.

Highlights 2019 -2020

The Fundraising Committee’s role is to support the major projects of our club as well as holding events to raise money to support both local and international projects. During the year we held raffles and a sausage sizzle to provide funds for the club to use to purchase iPads which were given to local Primary Schools for use of their students.
 
The Fundraising Committee also held a preview screening of Ride Like a Girl at the Cameo Theatre with all profits going towards the End Polio project.
 
Other projects were planned but could not proceed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
