Dunwoody Fundraising Efforts Net Almost $40,000 for Our Charitable Endeavors

The Rotary Club of Dunwoody had a great year in service projects with two new fund-raising efforts. The club held its first Whiskey & Cigar Raffle in October, November and December of last year and raised more than $6,500 for our Dunwoody Rotary Charitable Fund to support causes such as USO, the Dresden Book Drive, the Community Assistance Center (CAC), the Kingsley Elementary Thanksgiving Food Boxes and other community service projects. All three drawings were held at Porter Brew & Que with great membership and community participation.

Additionally, the club held its inaugural charity golf tournament called FORE! the Memories at St. Marlo Country Club on May 16, 2022 with support of more than 35 sponsors at various levels. We had great participation of our membership and friends of Rotary with 104 golfers. The event raised $20,000 which was presented to Alzheimer’s of Georgia -The Longest Day Program at our annual year-end and also contributed $13,000 for our Dunwoody Rotary Charitable Fund to help continue our support of community projects this upcoming year.

Plans are already underway for another Whiskey & Cigar Raffle and the second annual FORE! the Memories golf tournament.
