District 5870 is igniting the spirit of giving with two incredible opportunities that support the Rotary Foundation’s Annual Fund-SHARE. Your participation not only fuels impactful grants and scholarships but also offers exciting incentives for clubs and individuals alike.
Win an Ultimate Island Getaway!
Imagine relaxing in paradise while knowing your contributions are making a difference! The club with the highest Annual Fund per capita increase over the previous Rotary year will win a 5-night, 6-day stay at We've Gone Coastal Cozumel, an oceanfront vacation retreat.
This contest is a win-win—your club’s commitment to the Annual Fund enhances our ability to fund club DAP Grants, CTE scholarships, global grants, and global grant scholarships in the years ahead. The winning club can use this getaway in any way they choose—whether as a raffle prize, fundraiser, or club incentive. Now is the time to rally your members and maximize your contributions!
PDG James "Jim" Robinson Memorial Points Match – Through April 30!
A heartfelt initiative that honors PDG Jim Robinson’s legacy, this matching points program is an incredible opportunity for Rotarians to reach their next Paul Harris Fellow level while supporting the work of the Rotary Foundation.
So far, 94 Rotarians from 22 clubs have contributed a total of $43,776! These funds will drive the programs that uplift lives in our communities and around the world in Rotary Year 2027-28.
Here’s how you can take part:
· If you are not yet a Paul Harris Fellow +8, District 5870 will match contributions of new cash made to the Annual Fund-SHARE at a 1-to-1 basis between $250 and $500.
· Simply email Rich Kaye at richkaye@hot.rr.com with your contribution amount.
· Donate online at www.rotary.org (log into My Rotary before donating) or mail your contribution using the form provided to The Rotary Foundation, 14280 Collections Center Drive, Chicago, IL 60693.

Why It Matters
Every dollar contributed to the Annual Fund-SHARE helps fund Rotary’s life-changing projects, from clean water initiatives and educational scholarships to local vocational grants and global humanitarian efforts. By participating in these programs, you are directly fueling the future impact of Rotary—both at home and across the world.
Let’s make this a record-breaking year for the Annual Fund! Whether your club is competing for the ultimate island getaway or you’re taking advantage of the PDG Jim Robinson Memorial Points Match, every contribution strengthens our Foundation and creates lasting change.
