All of our service contributions come from fund-raisers such as that proposed with the Brea Mall. Every dollar from these fundraisers, except for expenses incurred in the event, goes directly to the programs we support. All of our members are volunteers. At the local level, the proceeds from this fundraiser will help fund such programs as the Brea/Yorba Linda Chapter of the Boys & Girls Clubs; Operation Headstart; Help for Brain Injured Children; The Brea Literacy and Students at Risk Programs; Emergency Financial Assistance for Seniors; Operation Santa Claus, providing food and clothing for families in need; and “Every 15 minutes”, a high school program directed at helping prevent driving under the influence. Beyond our borders, Brea Rotary has partnered with the City of Brea and our Sister-City Rotary Club in Lagos de Moreno to provide Lagos with fire engines, emergency rescue vehicles, ambulances, refuse trucks, kitchen equipment for a local orphanage, medicine for the local Red Cross, school computers, library books, playground equipment, and rehabilitation equipment for handicapped children.
