  4. Rotary US Bank Holiday Classic The Basketball Tournament is a joint effort of all three Rochester Rotary clubs. The tourney itself is usually held in the week between Christmas and New Years. Proceeds of the tourney ($43,000+ in 2005 - $460,000 + since the tournament started) are distributed in the spring to youth-related community initiatives. Don’t forget to Volunteer for this fundraising event.

  5. Kitchen Police Members of GRRC are asked to help wash dishes at the Rochester Senior Center Chicken Dinner fundraiser, which takes place on the second Tuesday of each month.

  6. Habitat for Humanity The Rochester Area Habitat for Humanity (RAHH) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to build simple, decent, affordable housing for people in our community who are economically challenged. 

  7. Riverside Picnic Members of GRRC are asked to assist with the Fall Family Picnic at Riverside Central Elementary School. The club provides hot dogs and grills them for the students, parents, and teachers on the designated evening.

  8. Blood Donor Program GRRC participates in the Mayo Blood Donor program, which means that if at least 25% of the membership donates blood at least once a year, the entire membership will receive the benefit of free blood products should they need them.

  9. Centennial Project & Celebration Several years ago the three Rochester Rotary clubs decided to contribute toward the expansion of the city skate park as our project to commerate the Rotary International Centennial. This decision was a response to a study done by the city to determine what the youth of Rochester needed for their entertainment. The Rotary clubs made a commitment of $30,000 toward this project, plus volunteer time to help build the park
