The East Haven Rotary Club has announced they will be holding their second annual “Great Golf Ball Drop Raffle” on September 17th at 1 pm. A helicopter will drop a maximum of 1500 numbered golf balls onto the Foxon Recreation League’s field (aka “The Pit”) on Maple Street in the Foxon area of East Haven. The ball that lands closest to the marked target in the field will win the holder of the ticket that matches that numbered ball, a $ 1500 cash prize ! The person who has the matching number ticket for the second closest ball will win a $ 500 cash prize. Third prize is $ 250. Entry tickets can be purchased online at www.Ehgolfballdrop.com and cost $ 10 per ball. Winners need not be present and the ball drop will be LIVE streamed on the Club’s Facebook site. All net proceeds will be used by the club for the many community services it provides. East Haven Rotary Club, Inc. is a 501c3 corporation and all purchases may tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. All purchases must be made by no later than September 14, 2022.

The funds received from this event and their extremely popular “Anginette Wars” fundraiser are critical, as the Club continues many great free community services, including: “Clothe the Children” and over 250 free Thanksgiving meals for deserving citizens.

Recently, The Club announced a new partnership with Camp Rising Sun. The Camp, located in Colebrook, CT welcomes any child aged 5-17, who has faced a diagnosis of cancer, giving these children a full week of fun and friendship. East Haven Rotary has made a commitment that beginning this summer, the Club will sponsor a deserving local child each year, enabling them to attend the camp.

Corporate Sponsorships are also available. For more information, contact Rotarian Frank Gentilesco, Jr. at (203) 627-0602.

The East Haven Rotary Club is now in its 84th year as it was founded in 1939. Since that time, Rotarians from East Haven have been involved in thousands of projects helping the residents of not just East Haven but also around the world.
