SPONSORSHIP PACKAGES

LOOKING BACK. It has been a busy year to date for the Rotary Club of Colleyville!

On the global front, the installation and completion of five reverse osmosis water wells in Sri Lanka now brings clean water to thousands of rural villagers. The wells were designed to rigorous American standards by our Foundation Chair Keith Kithsiri who also wrote the grants and managed the project. Keith will travel to Sri Lanka to see the completed project in November.

Additionally, Colleyville Rotary worked in partnership with other Rotary Clubs to secure the donation and installation of breast imaging equipment for a clinic in Parros Mexico which will allow for early detection of breast cancer which is particularly high in that area.

Both grants were written and secured by Foundations Chair, Keith Kithsiri who has put in untold hours and cleared countless obstacles to complete both of these important projects. We are very grateful for his hard work, dedication and expertise.

Locally, we partnered with the Rotary Club of Grapevine and Southlake to provide Webster dictionaries to every 3^rd grade student in the GCISD -- over 800 students at 11 schools. The dictionaries were delivered in October and it was fun to visit the schools and tell the kids about volunteerism and the beneficial work that the Rotary Club of Colleyville does in our community.

LOOKING AHEAD. We are excited to have a number of projects lined up to finish out 2023 and head into 2024!

Later this year will be working with local realtor (and former Dancing for the Stars Champion Fundraiser!) Sophie Tel Diaz on Backpacks for the Homeless project which distributes backpacks filled with hygiene and comfort items to the homeless. We are also volunteering to help 6 Stones Mission Network and Mercy House with secret Santa Christmas shopping as well as working with the Tarrant Area Food Bank to prepare meals.

Dancing for the Stars, our signature fundraising event, now in its 14^th season, will be February 24, 2024 at the elegant Hurst Conference Center. We are thrilled with our slate of dancers who are committed, limbering up and raising support! Visit our Dancing for the Stars page to find out more about them. A few sponsorship opportunities are still open, or we can create one to showcase your business to the community! You can find our sponsorship forms and information here or reach out to event co-chair Lauren Johnston at dfts@colleyvillerotaryclub.org

Dancing for the Stars tickets will be available after the first of the year. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram and look for that announcement soon.

If you have a heart for service, believe in giving back, having fun and hanging out with like-minded people, Rotary could be a good fit for you. Join us for lunch and find out! Email us at info@colleyvillerotaryclub.org and let us know you will be coming, and we’ll save you a seat!
