It's Chili Open Time - Can you help?
On February 4, 2023 over 500 golfers, Rotarians and volunteers will come together for Rotary Club of Akron’s 33rd annual Chili Open to golf, win prizes, and celebrate the great work that Rotary is doing in our local community. So far we have raised almost $100,000, but still has a long way to go to reach our bold goal of $350,000.
 
Because of the Chili Open, no child is ever turned away from Akron Rotary Camp due to inability to pay. Since its inception, the event has raised over $4,500,000 to support families and children in attending Camp.
 
If you are considering a sponsorship, or know of someone that might be interested in helping a great cause, please reach out to our Chili Open co-chairs.
 
We would also appreciate any donation of an item that can be used in our silent auction and/or door prize raffle to help us to meet our goal. Items can include gift cards, baskets, getaways, experiences, and more!
 
As always, thank you for helping to “Create a world where there are only abilities!”
