Still Opportunities to Honor Your Heroes!
Berks County Field of HONOR SIGNATURE Fundraiser
 
Flags may be sponsored to honor individuals currently serving in our Active-Duty Military, Veterans, Fallen Servicemen & Women, First Responders, Police, Heroes in Our Lives to Hometown Heroes such as teachers, non-profit leaders or the neighbor who’s always there for you. This unique event is the perfect opportunity for all of us to remember and honor our many heroes.
 
This one fundraiser enables us to support the many service initiatives throughout the year that our Club champions including but not limited to:
  • Student Services (Wilson Interact, Student of Month, 4-Way Test Speech Competition, Camp Neidig, STEM YEA, Exchange Students, Scholarships),
  • Matching Grant (Little Free Libraries, Planting Trees, Lighthouse Playground, Composting and International Projects)
  • Donations to Community Service Organizations (Hope Rescue Mission, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Children’s Home, Literacy & English as Second Language, Berks Veterans Temporary Assistance Grant, West Reading Summer Basketball)
  • Environmental Sustainability, Disease Prevention, Hygiene, Health & Mental Wellness. Economic Development, Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention Programs
  • Rotarian Learning Opportunities

We hope all our Club members can participate in some way by dedicating a flag, sponsoring the Field of Honor®, promoting flag dedications, or volunteering their time and resources.
 
 
 
Help us be the good in the world!
