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. 

Current Activity

The Fundraising Committee has started the year with a number of great ideas to raise funds that do not entail face to face contact - not an easy task.  We are working closely with the committee chairs of our Avenues of Service to augment their program needs and are hopeful Cocktails on the Catwalk will materialise in 2021.  More information to come on current projects as we bring them to fruition.

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.
