In previous years, the Rotary Club of College Park has raised more than $30,000 for the following beneficiaries:

The PolioPlus Initiative of Rotary International - PolioPlus is a program to immunize all the world's children against Polio. To date, the program has contributed $616 million to the protection of more than two billion children in 122 countries.

Rotary Club of College Park Local Projects - Each month, the Club honors one student from Lee Middle School, St. Charles Catholic School, Edgewater High School, and Bishop Moore High School. Along with the recognition as "Student of the Month," the students are presented a $50 gift to designate to a special in-school interest. The Club also provides scholarships to a graduating senior from both Edgewater and Bishop Moore High Schools. This amounts to more than $2500 in gifts that are given directly to College Park area students!

Ronald McDonald House of Orlando - The idea behind the Ronald McDonald House program is simple: Provide a "home away from home" for families of seriously ill children receiving treatment at nearby hospitals.

Additional funds also were distributed to charitable organizations nominated by Rotary Club of College Park Rotarians.
