North Scott Rotary Adventures

With the help of Modern Woodmen Ballpark, Davenport Police Department and the many agencies we worked with, approximately 350 children had a day at the ballpark to JUST BE A KID! 

On June 21st, 2022 we provided fun activities that allowed disadvantaged youth to focus on being a kid and leave their daily troubles behind for a little while. They had so much fun running the bases, riding the ferris wheel, going wild in bounce houses and making giant bubbles. We also provided lunch, awesome t-shirts to remember their North Scott Rotary Adventure and swag bags with items they can use all summer long. We feel it's important to give our local youth new experiences and bridge the gap from the life they may come from and the support available in our community. We hope North Scott Rotary Adventures leaves a lasting positive impact and wonderful memories for years to come.

Keep an eye on our Facebook page for our next ADVENTURE!

 

Ready to ride, Thanks to Rotary! 

Seventy-five volunteers, including North Scott Rotarians and friends of Rotary assembled 19 customized tricycles for children with disabilities. We partnered with Mississippi Bend Trykes to help purchase and assemble tricycles on February 9th, 2019. This is one of the many projects our club has participated in this year with a lot more to come! North Scott Rotary raised and donated $20,000 to this cause! Visit our Facebook page to see more on this project and the other projects we are working on!
