Proceeds to benefit Rotary Club of Berkeley Heights Good Causes:

The Rotary Club of Berkeley Heights is a not-for-profit group of local businesspeople, business owners, and professionals who come together to serve our community in fellowship and fun. We were founded in 1966 as part of Rotary International, the world’s oldest service organization. Our motto is Service Above Self. Here are some of the things we give and do around town…
 

• Academic & Service Scholarships to Governor Livingston HS seniors, every year.
• Sponsoring the 100-member, award-winning GLHS InterAct student service club,
• With our Interact Club, cleaning up Sandy Hook beaches at the annual Beach Sweep Project,
• Supporting GLHS Project Graduation, annually,
• Rotary Youth Leadership Award annual scholarship,
• Managing our 19-year-old Medic-Alert program for over 100 area solo seniors,
• Giving Student Dictionaries to every Berkeley Heights 3rd-grader, every year,
• Supporting the YMCA’s Strong Kids program,
• Helping Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, and Girl Scout troops that together serve nearly 1,000 local youth throughout the year, including presenting Certificates of Achievement to Boy Scouts who earn the Eagle Scout rank and to Girl Scouts who earn the Gold Award,

…and our members individually contribute to the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.

Recently, we rolled up our sleeves, got out our paint brushes, and rehabilitated our township’s only conference room from top to bottom!

Then we gave our Police dispatchers new window treatments.

Our club also contributes annually to the Rotary International “Polio Plus” initiative, which is on the cusp of wiping out Polio world-wide, and also to our newest global endeavor: Pure Water for the World: H2O = Health, Hope and Opportunity .

The Rotary Club of Berkeley Heights is a Presidential Citation club, now in its 43rd year of service.
