Fundraising Events

The Lake Dillon Ice Melt is one of Summit Rotary's most thrilling fundraisers. If you're new to the scene, here's the scoop: Picture a massive drum perched on Lake Dillon. Attached to this drum are watches, eagerly awaiting the moment the ice gives way. When that happens, these timepieces dive into the icy depths, stopping at the exact moment they hit the water. That's where you come in! Whether you're a local, a visitor or just a sharp guesser (yes, that's you!), it's time to use a mix of past drop times, your gut instincts (no complex math required!) and a sprinkle of luck to predict when that clock will plunge.

The grand prize? A whopping $4,000 and the ultimate bragging rights, of course. Second place snags $2,000 and slightly less braggable rights, while third place walks away with a cool $1,000.

But here's the best part: Your participation fuels the Rotary Club of Summit County's diverse national and international projects. Dive into our website for details on these impactful initiatives.

Second-Monday Bingo

Get ready to mark your calendars because the SECOND Monday of every month is about to turn into a bingo bonanza at The BLOCK in Silverthorne. It's not just any bingo night – it's a chance to dive into a whirlwind of fun and games while supporting a local non-profit.

Picture this: the air buzzing with excitement, cards in hand, and eyes glued to the caller. Anyone can join the action; you only need a bingo card and a smidge of attention. Who knows? You might walk away with some sweet, cold, hard cash!

And hey, in case you're wondering, our bingo games are fully legit, sanctioned by the Colorado Gaming Commission and the Secretary of State.

Be a part of the thrill, the laughter, and the thrill of victory at our rollicking bingo nights! It's an evening you will want to attend. First Monday Bingo at the Pad -- help support county-wide non-profits.

At our core, we're about making a profound impact, and your support can truly drive change. We welcome donations – cash, stocks, toys for adopt-a-angel programs, food for our weekly community dinners – anything that helps us make a difference for those who are less fortunate.

Here are a couple of examples of how we help: We rally to eradicate polio worldwide each year. With Rotary and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation pooling resources, it's a monumental effort, surpassing a billion dollars towards ending this disease. Our community members often wish to contribute to this noble cause.

Consider our response to natural disasters: we're on the ground, especially when shelters become a lifeline. Through our Shelterbox program, we provide families - sometimes up to 10 individuals - with a comprehensive shelter-in-a-box, complete with utensils, blankets, and essentials crucial for their survival and recovery during the rebuilding phase.

Our charitable fund, a 501(c)3 organization, ensures that every donation you make is not just an act of kindness but also a tax-deductible contribution. It's your chance to be part of a movement that's actively changing lives.

Join us in this journey of compassion and impact – your support means the world to us!
