Rotary Cares: Summer & School Support for Pine Ridge Indian Reservation

This year’s District Conference will include a meaningful, hands-on service project supporting families on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Together, we will assemble Summer Wellness Kits, Back-to-School Packs, and Teen Empowerment Bundles that will be shipped to partner organizations serving the Oglala Lakota community.

If you would like to help with this project click here to contribute to the supplies. 

Gold Sponsor: $250.       Silver Sponsor $125
Another way to support the project is to become a Conference Sponsor. Fifty percent of the funding goes to the conference budget and fifty percent goes to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation Service Project. This option is available on the registration page.
 
If you prefer, checks payable to “Rotary District 7870”  to: Jeff Mobus, 79 Front Street, Springfield VT 05156
