Every February, our Club holds the Premier Arts & Crafts Fair in Florida to raise funds for the various charities we support. During the last five (5) years, we have donated almost $200,000 for both local and international programs. For more information about the organizations we support, click here.
In addition to the contributions the Club makes to many worthy causes, San-Cap Rotarians are active in the community both individually, and as a Club. Individual Rotarians are very active in Friends in Service Here (F.I.S.H.), an outreach social service non-profit, the Sanibel Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF), a land and environmental preservation non-profit, Big Arts, and various Churches on the Island.
The Club regularly participates in the following:
- 12 Baskets. Collecting food donations from local stores and transporting it to the CCMI Food kitchen in Fort Myers
- “Luminary Night”. An annual event on both Sanibel & Captiva the first weekend in December where local merchants stay open late and invite visitors to their stores to share in some food and drink. San-Cap Rotarians help by setting up latterns along the roads.
- Dictionary Day. Every year, Rotary Clubs throughout the U.S. present Dictionaries to grade school students in local schools.
