The Rotary Club of Schaumburg/Hoffman Estates has been so impressed by the early success of its innovative Fishing Well Scholarship through Harper College, the club couldn’t pass up an opportunity to increase its support even more.
“By providing access to higher education for those that may not have it, (scholarship recipients) improve their lives, their family and the entire community by having better employment opportunities and more earning power,” said Eileen Higginbotham, the Rotary Club’s Director of Community Service. “As the program started to roll out, we saw the potential and the results. We thought, ‘Well, let’s see what we can do to extend this.’”
The Rotary Club of Schaumburg-Hoffman Estates holds its major fundraising event each year in March. This year’s event was a great success. Although final figures are not yet in, we are happy to report that significant funds were raised in support of the work of our charitable foundation for the coming year. These funds will enable continued support of many community projects, including our various scholarship programs, and financial assistance to our service partners such as Gigi’s Playhouse, Wings, Blessings in a Backpack, the Schaumburg Barn Senior Center, School District 54’s Food Pantry, the Children’s Advocacy Center, the Kenneth Young Center, and many others.
It is because of the hard work of our Rotarians and the generous support of event sponsors that we achieved our goals for this event. Thank you to all who worked so hard over the past months!
In addition to helping raise the money needed to continue our work in the community and around the world, this event is also a time of great fun and fellowship. Photos from the event are posted in a Photo Album that may be accessed on our home page at the right.

Rotarians that participated were Brian Berg, Bill Kelley, Glenn Szurgot, Jean Schlinkmann, Jack Lucas, Bob Fleisher, and Brian Townsend. In addition, 2 of our Fishing Well program members, Brian Callero and Carlos Segura, assisted with the effort.
It is amazing how much refuse accumulates in just a few short months, but it was no match for the efforts of the Schaumburg-Hoffman Estates Rotary Club. Keeping the community clean helps to instill pride in our villages and we’re proud to support the Roadside Clean-up Program.

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for over 30 years, and our goal of ridding the earth of this disease is in sight. We started in 1979 with vaccinations for 6 million children in the Philippines. Today, Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan are the only countries where polio remains endemic.
