(Atlantic) The Atlantic Rotary Club’s 42nd Annual Charity Dinner, Auction, and Fun Night, held on Saturday evening, generated $34,000, with all proceeds benefiting the community.
Event Co-Chair Dolly Bergmann had this reaction to the event’s success.
Bergmann says there was a variety of items donated locally, both within and outside of Atlantic.
Bergmann expressed her appreciation for the generosity of the business community and the people in attendance supporting the cause.
The Rotary Charity Dinner and Auction serves as a major fundraiser for the Atlantic Rotary Club, with proceeds reinvested into the local community. Funds raised through past events have benefited numerous organizations, including the Nishna Valley YMCA, area schools and preschools, the Cass County Health System Foundation, and local scholarship programs for high school seniors and Iowa Western Community College students, among many others.
In addition to the dinner and auction, a raffle is held in conjunction with the event. Proceeds from the raffle this year supported the Atlantic Food Bank in purchasing a commercial refrigerator/freezer to enhance its capacity to serve local families.
