Brandon Rotary Club
The Rotary Club of Brandon, a local community service organization, raised more than $135,000 to support local charities and scholarships. This record-breaking amount demonstrates the commitment of the club’s members and their dedication to making a positive impact in the Brandon community.
The funds raised by the Rotary Club of Brandon were distributed in June among various local charities, allowing them to further their missions and extend assistance to those in need. The Recipients included ECHO, Outreach Free Clinic and Resource Center, High 5 Inc., Rotary’s Camp Florida, Phoenix House and the Angel Foundation FL.

Through the concerted efforts of Rotarians and generous sponsors and contributors, the fundraising campaign surpassed its initial goal, emphasizing the tremendous support garnered from both individuals and businesses within the Brandon community. The success of these fundraising initiatives reflects the united spirit and commitment to the motto of Rotary International, which is “Service above Self.”
