PRESIDENTIAL FOCUS

All funds raised from this event will directly fund local & international projects of the Rotary Club of the Stroudburgs through the Stroudsburg Rotary Foundation, our local 501(c) 3 corporation! Your support through funding a sponsorship is greatly needed for us to achieve our goals. Please consider one of our Sponsorship levels outlined as noted.  The focus of this year’s effort will be on supporting education initiatives where we hope to build on last year’s efforts. Based on this year’s initiative the Rotary Club has named Sharon Laverdure, retired Superintendent of the East Stroudsburg School District, as this year’s recipient of the Buzz Bensinger Award. Money raised from this event last year helped to fund college scholarships for high school seniors, GED equivalency and citizenship tutoring through the Eastern Monroe Public Library, and programs managed by Developmental Educational Services. 

With your help we can make a difference locally!
