Find out who we are and why we do this.

This fundraiser is organized by volunteer members from the Oshkosh Rotary Club, with support from the Rotary Club of Oshkosh Southwest’s evening Oshkosh on the Water satellite group.

Rotarians are "People of Action". Rotary is where neighbors, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas, join as leaders, and take action to create lasting change. 

The Oshkosh Rotary Club, founded in 1917, has a proud tradition of service and leadership. Serving the community, vocations and the world, the club's 70 members live the Rotary motto: Service Above Self. The club meets Monday’s during the lunch hour.

In recent years, funds raised through the club have supported organizations and community needs such as the The Oshkosh Farmers’ Market’s new signage, the Day By Day Warming Shelter; and the Oshkosh Area United Way annual campaign and campaign kickoff event.

The Rotary Club of Oshkosh on the Water is an evening satellite club of Oshkosh Rotary Southwest. The smaller, evening club meets monthly for networking, holds monthly service projects, coordinates with the traditional lunch-time clubs, and focuses on supporting our local community. If you are interested in this club, please reach out via Facebook.
