We comply with 300 health, safety and program quality standards and offer accountability, credibility and commitment to our camp partners and camper families served every year at our facility.

We are excited to have been chosen as the charity this year that will benefit from the Red Wings "Launch a Ball" promotion.  Folks who go to a Saturday game can buy a tennis ball before the game and throw them on the field after the game to try to win a prize.

The proceeds from this promotion will go to Sunshine Campus.  In addition to being talked about during the games, the camp will be featured in radio ads on Warm 101.3, 94.1 The Zone and 93.3 Fickle.

To make this succesful, we need you help. 

We need eight volunteers for each Saturday night game this year, May 16th to August 29th.  All you have to do is sell tennis balls before the game, as a volunteer, you'll get to enjoy the game for free.

Plus, there will be fireworks after each game!

The following are dates that volunteers are needed:

August 1st

August 15

August 29th

To sign up, contact Brandi at the Rotary office at 546-7435 x210 or brandi@rochesterrotary.org.

Celebrate the 1980 USA Miracle on ICE

This year marks the 35th anniversary of the "Miracle on Ice" and to commemorate the accomplishment , the Rochester Red Wings will hold a Miracle on Ice night on the same night as our Rotary Red Wings Night. This gives us all some added excitement for the game.

Rochester will wear team USA's home white jerseys while Syracuse will don the away blue sweaters from 1980. Fans can bid on the jerseys, which will be signed by all the Olympians in attendance, during the game with the proceeds benefiting the Red Wings Community Foundation. The umpires will also wear hockey referee jerseys during the game.

The District Literacy Committee is designed to aid and promote reading amongst the youth of our community. The District Literacy Committee improves education, and is an essential component of poverty reduction and economic development.  

Please bring a new or gently used children's book to be distributed to schools within District 7120. These books can be dropped off at the 50/50 table located in the main breezeway.
