Club Fundraising - President Elect John Barrett

 

As a Service Club, the Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty must raise funds in order to carry out it's many community and international projects.  100% of the funds that are raised from community fundraisers go directly to the projects that the club conducts.

 

 

The primary fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Charlottetown Royalty is the Business Advertising Supplement:

 

 

In addition, there are other fundraising projects that come under the jurisdiction of the Four Avenues of Service

 

 

Pennies for Eyesight

 

Tinkle...tinkle....tinkle.  That's the sound of coins landing in the dish at the centre of the table when "Pennies for eyesight" is called out at the end of our regular breakfast meeting.

Each week our club members donate loose change to our "Pennies Campaign", last year giving a total of $1,705.50. This money gets forwarded to Operation Eyesight Universal, a Canadian charitable organization preventing blindness around the world.

The money helps fund eye camps in underdeveloped parts of the world, with cataract operations being performed by volunteer doctors who give up 1-2 weeks a year from their own practices for this worthy cause

See the 'thank-you' letter from Operation Eyesight for last year's donation, and also see the report on the Siloam Eye Hospital that our funds helped to support.
