BEST OF FRIENDS HERITAGE ENDOWMENT FUND

At the recent District 7090 Foundation Gala members and guests were introduced to the Best of Friends Heritage Endowment Fund being created to recognize Past District Governors and leaders in District 7090. 
 
$25,000 USD is required to start the fund.  Once it is established, it remains open for further contributions, along with planned gifts and bequest designations.  We invite you and your club to consider a contribution to make this possible.
With $7500 in pledges prior to the event, we challenged the members and guests to donate $2022. Due to the generosity of the attendees, we surpassed our evening goal with pledges of $6872.  We are over half way to our required $25000 to start our fund.  Many PDGs, partners and Rotarians were remembered and celebrated in the chat and with toasts.
For more information on the fund please visit the District 7090 website.  The pages dedicated to Foundation are located in the header menu under Committees.
 
Contributions may be sent to Rotary International District 7090, Inc. (write in memo “Endowment Fund”) and mail it to: C/O Donald DeMeo, 9 Pinegrove Park, Hamburg, NY 14075.
 
In the USA only, we can accept Venmo account Rotary District 7090 Grants  Business username @dadsad3.
