WINNERS FOR LIFE : Each year, Rotary Club of Seattle honors high school students who have shown exceptional character in overcoming significant obstacles to remain in school. Poverty, homelessness, substance abuse, domestic violence, teen pregnancy, language and learning disabilities are just some of the challenges these amazing kids have surmounted. These remarkable students are quietly building bright futures in difficult circumstances. They are our “WINNERS FOR LIFE.”

This Wednesday, March 30, volunteers from Seattle #4 will host our 38 WINNERS FOR LIFE at an 11am reception and at our regular Rotary luncheon. WINNERS receive a personalized plaque and our congratulations. It's one of the year's most inspiring and uplifting events - be there!
