Schaumburg-Hoffman Rotary gala raises more than $150,000
The Rotary Club of Schaumburg/Hoffman Estates raised more than $150,000 at its gala earlier this month for the local programs it supports.
Guests walked the red carpet while raising much-needed funds for the most vulnerable in the Schaumburg and Hoffman Estates communities.
The March 12 fundraiser was attended by 250 guests who bought tickets to win $10,000 or four other money prizes, bid on auction items, dance to the upbeat sounds of high-energy Yazz Jazz, and learn about the powerful impact they and fellow Rotarians have brought for more than 50 years.
The event was hosted by NBC news anchor Natalie Martinez. Harper College President Avis Proctor served as honorary chair.
This service club continues to provide aid to those suffering most from the COVID-19 pandemic by providing hard-to-get personal protection equipment to frontline workers; feeding many hundreds of students, seniors, veterans and frontline workers; assisting the hardest hit with economic aid; and awarding more than $100,000 in academic and vocational scholarships.
