Corning Rotary Announces First Online Auction to Support Community
 
CORNING, NY –The Rotary Club of Corning is excited to announce the inaugural Rotary Club Online Auction fundraiser, a virtual silent auction to be held from Saturday, June 3 at 8:00 pm through Saturday, June 17 at 8:00 pm at: https://www.32auctions.com/CorningNYRotary. The public will have the opportunity to bid on dozens of valuable items, including fine wines, spa packages, restaurant gift cards, jewelry, artworks, and hotel stays.

The Corning Rotary Club currently supports numerous programs in the Corning area including the Rotary Reads program at the Severn and Winfield elementary schools, a regional spelling bee under the auspices of the Scripps National Spelling Bee, planting and harvesting at two local community gardens, fire safety education for local households and students, an Interact Club at the High School Learning Center, scholarships for graduating seniors, and many more.

Golf Tournament Will Support Camp Star

The Camp Star Board is planning its Annual Golf Tournament. The Golf Tournament will be held at the Indian Hills Golf Course on Monday July 24, 2023. Sponsorship, donations, and golfer entry fees will be used to support 60 children for six days at camp. 

Camp Star is a summer camp for handicapped children between the ages of 6 and 12 years of age that otherwise cannot attend camp. This camp is held annually at the YMCA at Watson Woods in August and the funds from this tournament will help to allow us to offer this camp at no cost to the camper. The cost is over $500.00 per camper for an entire week of fun. 

Depending on your level of Sponsorship (see enclosed flyer for Sponsorship levels), your business may receive valuable publicity such as: 

  • 1. Signage at the event

  • 3. Recognition in printed materials 
  • 4. Advertising and links on our Camp Star Website 

We also welcome donations for the raffle as well as special prizes for example longest drive, closest to pin, team prize winners and last place team, We hope that you can help us make this a great event!
