Since 2008 this event has raised over $150,000 to fund various Rotary projects, including the Miracle League of Western Massachusetts Inclusive Playground at Kennedy Field (coming this summer), the media room at the Holyoke Library, K-9 vests for the Holyoke Police Department, and literacy projects with the Kelly School and Holyoke Boys’ and Girls’ Club, among others.

100% of the proceeds from the event are earmarked for Rotary projects. These are two of our current projects:

The Rotary Club’s pledge to provide a minimum of four $1,500 scholarships annually (at least one scholarship to a graduating senior from each of the following schools within our Club territory: Holyoke High School, Dean Tech Vocational High School, South Hadley High School, and Granby High School)
Rotary International’s Pure Water Projects which bring access to fresh drinking water to needy communities in Guatemala. Holyoke Rotary has partnered with Rotary Clubs from Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Florida, Canada and Guatemala to bring fresh drinking water to Chuchuca’ Bajo and El Garabato, Guatemala.
