For the past 13 years Santa Cruz Sunrise Rotary has raised funds for a $1.5 Million dollar major construction project for the benefit of local youth athletics. On Sunday, May 23, 2010, that goal was realized with the ribbon cutting of the new "Rotary Memorial Track and Field" at Santa Cruz High School. Lighthouse Bank Director Bruce McPherson assisted Lighthouse employee Jon Sisk and Bank organizer Ken Whiting in christening the track. Not only was it an opportunity to celebrate the completion of construction, but all Santa Cruz County Rotary Clubs joined the festivities in "A Walk for Humanity", not only raising money, but hunger awareness in our area.  All funds raised benefited Second Harvest Food Bank. The walk-a-thon raised enough funds to supply 10,000 meals to those in need.
