Welcome to the Rotary Club of Buffalo Grove Home Page.  Our club consists of a variety of like-minded community and business leaders.  We devote our time to fundraising and invest these resources in a comprehensive range of projects throughout the community, as well as globally.  It is a team effort of ambitious and caring people who dedicate their time to several causes while enjoying the camaraderie and friendships of club members. 

The project engagement and funding opportunities include:

            - Food Baskets (providing food for those in need at Thanksgiving)

            - Bowling with Buddies (pairing Rotarians with residents with disabilities)

            - Reading with Rotary (reading to young students and donating books)

            - Little Free Library (providing free books to the community)

            - Youth Assembly and RYLA (youth leadership programs)

            - Environmental Projects (local green infrastructure projects)

            - Guatemala Ak’Tenamit (projects to support and build infrastructure at a school)

            - End Polio Now (funding the worldwide effort to eradicate polio)

            - Community Grants (supporting non-profit organizations)

            - Academic / Vocational Scholarships (applications available second semester)

            - Exchange Student programs (opportunities to go abroad and host exchange students)

If you have an interest in participating in one of our community projects, don’t hesitate to contact us, or feel welcome to join us for lunch.  Please email info@bgrotary.org for more information or message us through Facebook at Buffalo Grove Rotary.

On October 25th, we had a great turnout of Rotarians and their families at the Bowling with Buddies event co-sponsored by the Village's Commission for Residents with Disabilites at Bowlero.  A really rewarding event for the participants and for the volunteers.  
    
We partner with the Wheeling Rotary Club every year during the Thanksgiving season to donate food to local families in need.  We receive support for this program from donations from local businesses and from a Rotary District 6440 grant.
 
On October 21st, we had a great turnout of our members and members from the Arlington Heights Club to install landscape plants at St. Anne's Home, a facility owned by Maryville Academy to house unaccompanied female migrants from ages 12 to 17 who will move into the facility in mid-November.  Jeff Weiss designed and ordered the plants that both clubs funded.  As Maryville's Executive Director wrote: "What a beautiful surprise awaits the residents now and next Spring when everything starts to bloom!"  
     
On October 22nd, several members of our club attended an event, and did some planting, at Reiner Park where Nicor Gas presented Morton Arboretum with a check to be distributed to ten different communities, and Buffalo Grove Park District was a recipient of $10,000 to enhance the arboretum at Reiner Park.  In the past, our club has donated funds for planting 75 trees, plants for the swale and woodlands, and money for the fishing pier.  Signage will be added in the future at this park to identify the "Rotary Grove" and our contributions.
 
THEN and NOW!
Our club planted native plants and shrubs at Willow Stream Park in May of 2022 and now the area is  beautiful and lush and attracting pollinators.  Great club environmental project!
Did you know that your local Rotary Club of Buffalo Grove provides annual support to the End Polio Now initiative?  Through local fundraising efforts, we have increased our contribution to $2,000 annually to eradicate polio on the planet.  To find out more about this global initiative and how you can help, visit the End Polio Now web page!
