A raffle, with many great prizes will be drawn. Some of the prizes are: Pair of NY Yankee tickets; Remote controlled Drone w/camera; Keurig Cappuccino & Latte System; Fitbit; Action Dash Camera; Telescope and a Canon Power Shot Camera, to name just a few.

Since the Rotary Club derives most if not all of its revenue from fundraisers, the success of events like this will have a direct impact on the Club’s ability to help the community of East Haven. The East Haven Rotary Club was founded in 1939. Since that time Rotarians from East Haven have been involved in thousands of projects helping the residents of not just East Haven but around the world. Some of the local club’s annual activities are: “Clothe the Children”, Free Amber Alert Child Identification Cards, distribution of Thanksgiving baskets and Thanksgiving Day dinner, recognizing Students of the Month and annual Scholarship awards and the Public Safety Officers of the Year recognition.
