What will we do with the proceeds?
Proceeds from the WRRRaffle will benefit the Wallingford Foundation, the charitable arm of the Rotary Club of Wallingford. Through its annual grants programs, the Wallingford Foundation supports local nonprofit organizations by funding initiatives that make a meaningful difference in our community. Past projects include funding for the Mahan Planetarium at Sheehan High School, renovating the kitchen at the Ulbrich Boys and Girls Club, providing AED defibrillators for the Wallingford Police Department, enhancing the Wonder Room at the Wallingford Public Library, and organizing the Rotary Club’s annual 9th Grade Essay and Speaking Contest. These are just a few examples of the many impactful initiatives the Foundation has supported over the years. Join us in making a positive difference—your support helps fund these vital community projects!
