'Round Up Your Change' fundraiser  During January 2022, Superstition Mountain Rotary Club member, Brian Kabat is implementing a 'Round Up Your Change' program in his Ace Hardware stores to help support funding for the Club's scholarship program. When store customers make a purchase they will be asked if they would like to 'Round Up Their Change' to contribute to Superstition Mountain Rotary Club. The Club annually helps local High School seniors who have economic challenges with scholarship funds, to help them move forward with their educational goals. ** Shop Ace Hardware stores during January 2022 and participate in 'Round Up Your Change' . ** Thank you. Raising funds for Salvation Army  Club members and friends joined forces with the Salvation Army to participate in their annual 'red kettle' bell ringing community service project. Since 1891 the Salvation Army has been hanging red kettles at local businesses during the weeks before Christmas and providing opportunities for the public to make contributions, which are used to help the most vulnerable in local communities. The Club participates in this community service project every holiday season. This year, Club Service Projects Chair, Jeffrey Mitchell, helped co-ordinate with the Salvation Army for kettles to be placed at the Apache Junction Ace Hardware store entrance. Thanks to everyone who helped by ringing the bell -- and to everyone who put money in the bucket! 21st Annual Charity Golf Tournament Our annual Golf Tournament was a great success!
One of our major fundraisers, the tournament proceeds will benefit a wide number of local area youth and non-profit causes, including scholarships to help a number of high school seniors proceed with their educational goals, the Apache Junction Boys & Girls Club, local area food banks, non-profits serving the homeless and a wide range of other local area needs. |
