Continuing Ray Norris's Legacy

The event honors the legacy of Lt. Colonel Ray Norris, a Vietnam veteran and dedicated Anthem Rotarian who began helping disadvantaged teenagers in 2009. Ray recognized that many students struggled to stay in school because they lacked basic necessities such as food, clothing, hygiene products, and school supplies.

For years, Ray personally assembled backpacks filled with essential items and coordinated their distribution through local schools. His goal was to give young people a hand up so they could stay in school, graduate, and build brighter futures.
