"Rotary believes in developing the next generation of leaders. Our programs help younger leaders build leadership skills, expand education and learn the value of service."
On August 13, Morning Star Rotary celebrated our annual Youth Services Day, welcoming the students the club sponsored for this past year's youth initiatives along with their families. Scholarship recipients Kate and Mia, both Freedom High School graduates, shared their college plans in medicine and pre-med at King's College and Cornell, and urged the younger students in the room to get involved and embrace being uncomfortable. Camp Neidig leadership participants Sasha and Aaron described how bringing so many young leaders together taught them to collaborate and step out of their comfort zones, while April, our STEM-YEA student, reflected on the wonder of studying space, planetary science, and the SETI program during STEM-YEA at Kutztown University. Congratulations to these outstanding students!
Our club is seeking sponsors for the Celtic Classic 5K Race. Sponsorships are the primary way that we raise money to distribute throughout our community. Please share the sponsorship form below with any potential sponsors to make our 2026 race a success.

Do you know about Raise for Rotary, The Rotary Foundation’s peer-to-peer fundraising tool? Since August 2020, Rotary members and our supporters have created more than 4,000 fundraising events to celebrate birthdays, athletic challenges, and other occasions. These fundraisers have generated over US$3.5 million for the PolioPlus Fund, World Fund, Disaster Response Fund, and areas of focus.
Raise for Rotary is celebrating its sixth anniversary with some exciting updates:
It’s migrating to a new platform and has an updated logo.
You can now download a donation report from your fundraising page to more easily track who donated and when.
If you’re fundraising for PolioPlus through physical activity, you can now track your activities on the exercise app Strava to share your progress with more people.
The features and benefits that have made Raise for Rotary successful aren’t changing:
It’s simple to use and share. Setting up a fundraising page is fast. You can support specific Rotary causes and easily share your fundraiser with others — especially on social media.
Donors can get recognition credit. Anyone who gives using the same email address they use for Rotary functions such as My Rotary will receive all applicable Rotary giving credit and recognition.
An organizer’s club is credited with donations from nonmembers. This recognizes the work of organizers and encourages them to seek support beyond their Rotary networks.
Lower fees mean we can do more. With our own platform, we have more flexibility and more of the funds you raise go directly toward Doing Good in the World.
Thank you for your support! No matter how you choose to fundraise, the donations you generate help our Foundation make an even bigger impact around the world.
