The Allentown Rotary Club, like many not-for-profit institutions needs to occasionally raise funds to be able to continue to provide service to our youth, to our community and to our world. Some fundraising programs include the Allentown Rotary Club 5k Walk / Run and the sale of Hand-Turned Lodgepole Pine Walking Sticks.

Allentown Rotary Club 5k Walk / Run

2010 marked the First Allentown Rotary Club 5k Walk / Run. Through Participation from walkers, runners and our sponsors, we have been able to support important causes like the Roger & Louise Mullin Scholarship and PolioPlus.

For More information about the Allentown Rotary Club 5k Walk / Run, including registration, sponsorship and photos, please visit its dedicated page on this web site: www.allentownrotary.org/5k

Walking Sticks

One fundraising initiative is the sale of our Hand-Turned Lodgepole Pine Walking Sticks. The walking sticks come in three different sizes: small (4'), medium (4' 6'') and large (5') and are very well-made. They include a leather wrist strap and the words "Appalachian Trail" branded on the side. The Proceeds from each walking stick goes directly to the Allentown Rotary Club Foundation where it's used for programs like Pool Pals, Romper Day, Monte Carlo Night at the Good Shepherd, Polio Plus and ShelterBox, among others.

If you have purchased one of the Hand-Turned Lodgepole Pine Walking sticks through the Allentown Rotary Club and would like to be showcased on this web site using it, simply send an e-mail with your picture and story (please include the location) to: info@allentownrotary.org.Thanks!
