Youth Programs Supported in 2026-27 (Julie Schumaker)
Thanks to YOUR participation in making the 2026 Betsie Bay Burger Battle a success, we raised almost $9,000 to support youth programs. Additionally, we received $700 from the Ironman Foundation for serving as the captain of last year’s Ironman. Recently, the Youth Services Committee recommended, and the Frankfort Rotary Club’s board voted to support the following youth programs in 2026-27.
- Life Leadership Conference ($800 - $400 scholarships for 2 students)
- Interact Club Operations ($800 - Interact t-shirts, locker magnets, monthly bagels)
- Interact Club service activities ($500)
- Interact Service Trip to El Salvador ($1,000 - $500 scholarships for 2 students)
- High School Career Expo Speaker ($800)
- Elementary School Brain Break Assembly ($1,000)
- MS/HS Service Above Self Awards ($450 - $50/mo for Sept-May)
- Frankfort Elementary Book Fair ($1,000)
- Books from Birth ($500)
- TBD ($2,827)
It is especially gratifying to know that we are making a difference in the lives of students in Frankfort who would otherwise not have these opportunities. It truly takes a village (or a club) working together to Unite for Impact.
