The Rotary Club of Georgetown recently celebrated a major milestone, surpassing $1 million in cumulative giving to The Rotary Foundation since the club was chartered in 1962.
At the start of the 2025–2026 Rotary year, the club was still about $112,000 away from reaching the goal. Thanks to the dedication of Foundation Chair Georgianne and the incredible generosity and commitment of Georgetown Rotarians, the club not only reached the milestone—it exceeded it, finishing the year with $1,030,155 in lifetime giving.
The achievement was kept a closely guarded secret and revealed during the club’s annual Debunking on June 26. The evening was already a special one as members welcomed incoming President Dennis and thanked outgoing President Christie for her year of service.
Helping celebrate the occasion were PDG Rich Kaye, Regional Rotary Foundation Coordinator for Region 36; PDG Shannon, District Foundation Chair; outgoing District Governor Todd; and incoming District Governor Jeff.
For more than six decades, Georgetown Rotarians have supported The Rotary Foundation’s work to create positive change around the world. Reaching the $1 million mark is a testament to the generosity, service, and lasting impact of our members—and a reminder of what Rotary can accomplish when we work together!
