Rise.Shine.Give was a Huge Success
The 2022 Rise.Shine.Give held at Innovation Campus was phenomenal! Rotarians raised over $80,000.00. Proceeds will support Habitat for Humanity Lincoln and our Lincoln Rotary Club #14 Foundation. There are still Epic Experiences available, click here and enjoy your own epic experience! Special thanks to RSG Co-Chairs Kate Holman and Penny Johnston, Rotarians, and those who supported RSG. THANK YOU!

Know your Rotary Foundation
"For nearly 20 years, I've contributed to The Lincoln Rotary #14 Foundation. It's a simple way to make a lasting gift directly to our community and the world. It's like investing in a well-diversified mutual fund that's low risk, serves many, and has a long-term vision. I contribute for the people we can help today and the significant impact the fund will have in the future. Join me, and hundreds of other Rotarians, in making an annual contribution. We can't do it without you."
Past President Susan Stibal
Rotary #14 Foundation: Board of Directors
