The Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club has announced their 2011 "Make Dreams Real" campaign, providing six levels for area businesses and individuals to help those that programs and services our club supports in the community.
“Working within our organization’s philosophy of Service Above Self, this year’s fundraising campaign is geared to helping local military families in need, as well as improving literacy within our community,” says campaign chair Laura Gillig.
“R.B. Sunrise Rotary club is proud to support over 36 different programs
providing service and assistance to our youth, our senior citizens and
the families of deployed U.S. military personnel,” observes Gillig. RB
Sunrise Rotary is universally recognized as Rancho Bernardo’s leading
service organization and home to our community’s top business and civic
leaders.
In addition to sponsoring students from both Abraxas and Scripps Ranch
High Schools, RB Sunrise also donates dictionaries to local third
graders, contributes generously to programs like Toys for Tots, and does
significant amounts of deferred maintenance at Escondido’s Buckheart
Ranch (a home for wayward boys).
“Rotarians are known for their willingness to give, both individually
and as a group,” says club president Rick Coburn. He adds “Rotary was
the one of the first groups to offer assistance when the Witch Creek
fire hit us four years ago. We’re on-site for hurricanes, earthquakes,
and tsunamis, as well as helping support service dogs, build houses for
the homeless, and look for day-to-day ways to strengthen our community.”
“While every Rotarian is willing to dig deep into our pockets, we can’t
do it all by ourselves,” says Gillig. “This is why we ask the community
once each year to consider the thousands of people our club has helped –
both locally and around the world – and help us help them…and you.
To this end, the RB Sunrise Rotary is purchasing full page
advertisements in both the Rancho Bernardo News and the Poway Chieftain,
and these ads will be scheduled to run in special holiday issues in
November.
Members of the community are asked to help sponsor the club and its many
good deeds, with any level of sponsorship welcomed and guaranteed to be
put to good use.
“Sponsorships as low as $100 will be publicly recognized in these
full-page ads, either as individuals or as businesses. We want to make
sure everyone knows who is being generous and has made a tangible
commitment to ‘giving back’,” says Gillig.
