February was a big month for us!
Club members had a great time providing water and directions to runners and walkers participating in the 2025 Lost Dutchman Marathon 8K Trail Run. The Lost Dutchman Marathon is an annual event, which includes a marathon, half-marathon, 10k, and 8k trail run. All proceeds from the five non-profit Lost Dutchman race events benefit many local youth organizations. To date, since the inception of the event in 2002, Lost Dutchman races have contributed more than $900,000 to these causes. Club members have been annually responsible for managing volunteer efforts for the 8K Trail Run. The event provides the Club both an opportunity as a service project, as well as a fund-raiser to help the community.

The Club also participated in and volunteered for the 2025 Lost Dutchman Days Rodeo event, February 21st-23rd. For many years, Superstition Mountain Rotary Club members have volunteered at the annual Lost Dutchman Days Rodeo. The event provides both a fund-raiser and a service project opportunity for the Club. Volunteers actively work for all three days, handling beer sales.
Funds received from participating in service projects such as this are utilized by the Club, throughout the year, to assist many non-profit, need-based, youth, and community causes. Additionally, the Club utilizes funds received from service projects to help provide funding for student scholarships.
