Each year Vancouver Rotary Clubs and Rotaractors have joined with you to raise funds at our Strathcona Rotary Youth Leadership Hoop-A-Thon. Thanks to you we have raised more than $365,000 for the kids since 2006. We can’t hold an event this year, but we are still planning to help the kids. Because of the generosity of Rotarians, our Clubs, a Rotary District Grant, along with a major contribution by the Hoop-Law Tournament - and corporate donors, we have already raised more than $38,000. If you can add to this with a small donation, thank you. If not, we understand. All money raised will be awarded for scholarships, youth leadership training and the Strathcona Basketball Program. To make a donation go to our Charitable Impact page. You will receive an instant tax receipt.

The Rotary Club of Vancouver is providing emergency funding to Vancouver elementary schools and organizations in need during the coronavirus pandemic.
The club donated $20,000 to the Adopt-a-School program, adopting two Vancouver schools, Norquay Elementary and Britannia Community Elementary. Funds will be used to provide food to families and assist those who don’t have computers or access to the internet so students can participate in online learning.
Vancouver Rotary also gave $10,000 to The Door is Open, an organization that provides daily meals to people in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
