Our Causes

Promotion ​of education

This year, our Club will award over $100,000 in scholarships to graduating students in Redlands Unified School District. Over the last five years $289,600 has been awarded to well over 100 students. These scholarships allow students to purchase textbooks and supplies, alleviate the price of college meal costs, provide the ability to purchase new tech equipment such as laptops, headphones, and cameras. In some cases, we’ve heard from scholarship recipients that they were able to apply the money to rent, or even to come home during the winter holidays to see family – something that would have been otherwise impossible without this money. However the students choose to utilize their Rotary Club of Redlands Scholarships, it makes a very meaningful impact in their lives, reduces the burden and stress of certain costs, and serves as an investment in these young people.

Polio eradication

For the past 35 years, Rotary has been working to eliminate polio from the face of the earth, a goal that is now on the horizon. In 1979, we began our mission with a campaign to vaccinate six million Filipino children. Today, Afghanistan and Pakistan are the only countries where polio remains endemic.

Help us end polio forever .
