What a fantastic day on the greens! 🏌️‍♂️⛳️

​The Rotary Club of Rutherford’s annual golf outing benefiting The Gift of Life was a tremendous success. We couldn't have asked for better weather, a better group of people—or a better special guest than the bear that made a surprise appearance on the course! 🐻⛳️

​A huge thank you to all of our golfers, sponsors, and donors who supported this amazing cause. Your generosity makes a real impact! ❤️

Heartwarming moment at our latest Rotary Club meeting! 💛

​We were incredibly honored to welcome 3-year-old Gift of Life International recipient, Asiah, and his father, Rain, as special guests. Asiah is a true fighter, recently completing a long 6-month recovery from life-saving heart surgery.

​This gathering also fell on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, serving as a solemn reminder of our shared resilience and unity.

​A huge thank you to our members, guests, and the Gift of Life team for coming out to support Asiah and his family. Your presence made this event truly unforgettable.

​Together, we are changing lives, one heart at a time.

What an incredible milestone! After fighting courageously since arriving from the Philippines back in January, Gift of Life child Aisiah was finally released from the hospital this past week. To celebrate his healing and recovery, he got to enjoy his first boat ride on Lake Hopatcong! Seeing him experience these joyful moments after such a tough battle is a true success story.

​Stories like Aisiah's are made possible by the dedication of our community and programs like Rotary's Gift of Life. You can help us support more children by joining us at our upcoming golf fundraiser on September 18! If you don't golf, you are still more than welcome to support the cause by donating here: https://linktr.ee/rotary5604.
