Come join us. 
 
Cocktails,  hors devours, chances to win fun prizes, and an opportunity to contribute to a great cause. 
 
With funds raised at prior Gold Auctions, our club was able to support local projects this past year in the areas of public safety (multiple emergency 911 call boxes in the Canyon), community (seasonal worker events, staining at Morning Star and Crail Ranch, river and trail clean up) education (College Scholarships, Little Free Libraries, Wildfire prevention), hunger (Little Free food pantries and Friendsgiving Support), and children (Giving Tree, Elementary playground toys and Vision Testing).  Internationally we supported health (polio eradication and Guatemalan clean water and literacy projects) and took 6 local teens to Ecuador to build homes out of bamboo for impoverished families.

Rotary Club Seeks Families for the Christmas Giving Tree

The Rotary Club of Big Sky, with the help of the Big Sky Community, is once again sponsoring the Christmas Giving Tree.

The Giving Tree is an annual program that helps families during Christmas by providing gifts for the children and a Christmas dinner for the family. If you would like to partcipate in this project, please pick up a Santa Letter for each child from either one of the two banks, the Food Bank or the Country Market and help each child fill out their Santa Letter.

Kids can request three gifts from Santa. Please keep toy/book requests under value of $50 each.

Please mail the Santa Letters in the provided self-addressed stamped envelope as soon as possible and no later the December 1st.

Once the Santa Letter is received, Big Sky Rotary will place one angel ornament on the Christmas Giving Tree. Community members will pick up an angel ornament and fulfill the child’s wish by purchasing the gift.

A Rotarian will schedule gift delivery on December 23rd (or before if communicated). The Rotary Club will also provide the family with a Christmas dinner basket at the time of gift delivery.

Please know this program is completely confidential. It is also important to know that because of Covid19 that our deadlines are a little earlier this year, giving us time to grant as many wishes as possible.

Happy Holidays!
