Last year was a milestone year for the Rotary Holiday Classic. Thanks to past support over the last 32 years, we reached the one million dollar mark in awarding grants to youth programs in our community!The Rotary Clubs of Rochester are planning to hold the 2020 Rotary Holiday Classic, presented by Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine, on December 29th and 30th at the Mayo Civic Center. We recognize there is considerable uncertainty due to the pandemic. We will look to both the Minnesota State High School League and our health experts for guidance as the event dates get closer. We’re cautiously optimistic the event will be held as planned. If the event is cancelled due to pandemic concerns, sponsorship funds will either be designated for grants to local youth organizations in the Rochester area, supporting local needs as with past events or returned to you. The Rotary Clubs of Rochester are committed to carrying on the tradition of supporting youth programs.
The Rotary Holiday Classic is only possible because of the generosity of our sponsors and advertisers and their longstanding commitment to supporting youth in our community. Please review the 2020 Sponsor/Advertiser Brochure. If you are able to support this important event, please select your level of participation, and mail or email your response as soon as possible.
We recognize 2020 has been an unusual year for everyone. Jobs have been lost, workers have been furloughed and business has been anything but usual. The Rotary Holiday Classic is an event that brings energy, great basketball competition and thousands of people to Rochester – something we can all look forward to in the coming months. Thank you in advance for taking time to review this information and for your careful consideration.
In gratitude for your support,
The Rotary Holiday Classic Steering Team
