Volunteer parking is located in the Blue Lot, which should be accessed via Entrance A on Dart Avenue. Please use this entrance rather than entering from Opportunity Parkway.
Dart Avenue is a one-way street. Depending on your route, you may need to circle the block to reach it (Opportunity to Pier to Bartges to Dart).
When heading north on Dart Avenue, Entrance A will be the first entrance on your right.
Once you've parked, please follow the sidewalk toward Dart Avenue and use the city sidewalks to walk to our main entrance on Opportunity Parkway.
Handicap-accessible spaces remain available in front of the building on Opportunity Parkway.
This is a great opportunity to bond with fellow Rotarians while making an impact in our community.
The service project typically involves breaking down large containers of food into smaller portions for redistribution to area food pantries.

Thank you for teeing-off the 2027 Chili Open Golf Classic with us! This event is more than just a fundraiser or a chance to have fun. It symbolizes the opportunity for a child with special needs to make new friends, explore new experiences, build confidence, and create lasting memories.
It stands for a family that can relax knowing their child has a place where they are accepted, celebrated, and given the chance to experience everything camp has to offer.
At Akron Rotary Camp, we believe every child should have the opportunity to experience the magic of camp, regardless of their family's financial situation. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, what once seemed like a financial barrier can transform into an opportunity.
As you are thinking about the Chili Open, remember that we are discussing more than just golf or fundraising. We are opening doors, creating possibilities, and ensuring more campers have the chance to discover their potential.
It signifies a chance to belong, to grow, and to create a world where there are only abilities!
To help us grow this event and continue our support for Rotary Camp, consider forming your own foursome and invite them to join us and contribute to the success of the Chili Open:
One golfer
One business owner
One community leader
One individual who has never attended the Chili Open before
Together, we can elevate this event to new heights! Our ambitious goal is $375,000, and with your invaluable support, we are confident we can reach it.
