100th Anniversary - Challenge Grant

UPDATE: We did it, Rotarians! Through your generosity, our club raised the $7,500 necessary to fulfill the Challenge Grant offered to us in celebration of our club's 100th Anniversary in 2025. That, with the challenge grant donation of $2,500 from a generous Rotarian, we now have $10,000 to give as a gift for benches in the new splash pad which is part of the new Silver Lake Park aquatics area. A huge thank you to all who donated!
In recognition of our club’s 100th anniversary, we’ve set a goal of raising $10,000 to fund the benches that will surround the proposed Silver Lake Pool and Splash Pad area. To help achieve that goal, a member of our club has generously offered a Challenge Grant to contribute $1 for every $3 given by Rotary members. How does the Challenge Grant work? For example, when a member donates $100, the 100th Anniversary project will receive an additional $33.33 from the Challenge Grant. Overall, when our members contribute a total of $7,500, this Challenge Grant contributes an additional $2,500, and we’ve met the $10,000 goal!
Are we up for the challenge?
