The Rotary Youth Camp needs your help.

We are nearly halfway through the Mighty Cause Fundraising Challenge, and we are still far from our goal.

Every donation helps. Gifts as small as $10 count toward our number of unique donors and help improve our standing in the challenge.

If we raise $3,000 by October 16, we become eligible for a grant of up to $100,000 to support the Rotary Youth Camp’s Centennial Campaign and help move the Administration Building renovation forward.

Please donate through this link so your gift counts:

You can also help by sharing this post with your friends, colleagues, and community.

With the support of generous community members—like you—the Rotary Youth Camp can continue to welcome nonprofit groups free of charge. Make a difference. Change a life. Donate today.

Raytown Rotarians were captivated hearing stories of service from Jan Armstrong, long-time Rotarian in the downtown Kansas City Club #13. She told of raising and caring for animal babies, such as pandas, in her career, and she shared stories of helping immunize children in India against polio. (Rotary has been involved in the eradication of Polio since 1979 and started the PolioPlus initiative in 1985.) Jan told of her travels to China and her deep passion and connections there. We could have listened to Jan's stories of her life experiences all day! What a pleasure it was having Jan share with us!
