Thirteen area youth-oriented non-profit organizations were recently awarded community grants from the proceeds of the final Rotary Clubs of Rochester Holiday Classic. Also receiving grants are the four Rochester high school athletic programs as well as the three Rochester Rotary Clubs to be used for their youth projects. As Rochester Rotarians, we celebrate the many years of success of the Rotary Holiday Classic as the event provided an opportunity for our members to fulfill Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self” by volunteering and generating more than $1,067,000 for youth-related organizations. The Holiday Classic’s success over the years is also a credit to the many sponsors and advertisers, participating teams and coaches, and the families and fans who attended and enjoyed watching great basketball.
