The Lakes Region Rotary club has raised and distributed over $200,000 to local charities as part of our mission to serve the community. Each year the proceeds from the car show are awarded to local organizations that serve our community in support of their efforts to provide social services and/or environmental education and protection.
The 2024 car show was a smash hit, raising over $40,000, which was donated to 22 charities at the reception. The Lakes Region Rotary Club went all out, supporting an incredible list of beneficiaries including Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center, Circle Program, Make A Wish, and the Santa Fund of the Greater Lakes Region, to name just a few.
Rotarian Larry Greeley was thrilled to announce the grand total, saying, “We’re overjoyed to host such a heartwarming reception for our generous business owners and the charitable nonprofits that they so graciously supported. These nonprofits provide vital aid to those in the Lakes Region who need things like food, shelter, and support services. Over the last 12 years, we’ve awarded more than $200,000 to our community, and we couldn’t be more proud!”
