Annual Florence Rotary Fundraisers

Annual Rotary Auction

What started out decades ago as a small event raising a couple thousand dollars to today’s gala event that raises hundreds of thousands of dollars each year in scholarship funds. The Annual Rotary Auction is a themed event where Rotarians and community members alike enjoy an evening packed with the lots of fun and a great dinner all while raising money for scholarships for students in the Siuslaw and Mapleton school districts. Over the years the Florence Rotary Auctions have raised over $2M for our student’s future education.
