💙💛 LOOK WHAT WE’RE ACCOMPLISHING TOGETHER! 💛💙

The Rotary Club of Winter Garden invested more than $76,000 in our community during the 2025–2026 fiscal year, supporting 31 local organizations and community programs serving Winter Garden and the West Orange community! 🙌

This incredible milestone is possible because of our dedicated members, generous community partners, sponsors, and supporters. We’re also grateful to the Orange Observer for shining a light on the difference Rotary is making right here at home.

And that $76,000 represents so much more than dollars. It represents neighbors helping neighbors, local businesses giving back, Rotarians volunteering their time, and community organizations doing meaningful work every day.

We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished together—and energized for all that’s ahead!

To our fellow Rotarians: wear that Rotary logo proudly! 💙💛 It stands for service, leadership, friendship, and a commitment to building a stronger community.

To everyone who attends our events, sponsors our fundraisers, volunteers alongside us, donates, or helps spread the word: THANK YOU! You are part of this impact.

And thank you again to the Orange Observer for helping share Rotary’s story in our community.

💙 Together, we serve. Together, we make an impact. And we have a lot of fun doing it!

👉 Follow the Rotary Club of Winter Garden to stay connected with our service projects, community events, and the difference we’re making together!

👇 Tag a Winter Garden Rotarian or community partner who deserves some recognition!

The Rotary Club of Winter Garden celebrated donating thousands of dollars to more than 30 organizations and community programs.

Vibrant West Orange is a community for West Orange residents 55+, created to help people remain independent, active and socially connected. Its programming centers around five areas: Fit & Active, Social Events, Healthy Eating, Minds in Motion, and Arts, Music & Theater.

The Creative Connections Choir fits that mission perfectly. The choir is directed by Dr. Jeffery Redding, UCF Director of Choral Activities and the 2019 GRAMMY Music Educator Award recipient. Their upcoming showcase features music from The Beatles and The Beach Boys.

Now that is how Winter Garden does a night out 🎶

We had an amazing time at Evening at the Pops—proud to be there as both a sponsor and a corporate member of the Rotary Club of Winter Garden.

There’s something special about coming together like this… great music, familiar faces, and a shared love for our community.

This is what Winter Garden is all about.
