Our Rotary District, 5110, is part of Zone 27. The paired zones of 26 & 27 make up the Big West. These 30 districts span from Colorado to Hawaii and from Washington to Texas. I think we are pretty special, but here’s some amazing news: we were just recognized by Greg Podd, 2023-2025 Trustee of The Rotary Foundation.

He said, “To all the Rotarians of Rotary International Zones 26 and 27,
I am very pleased to inform you that as of January 31, 2025 Zones 26 and 27 [which includes District 5110] are leading the world in Total Contributions! Number 1 is Zone 26 in the world with total contributions of $ 9,612,897, and Number 2 is Zone 27 in the world with total contributions of 9,109,828. CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for your outstanding leadership!”

This recognition is more than just a number—it’s a testament to the generosity and commitment of Rotarians like you. Every dollar donated to The Rotary Foundation fuels projects that change lives, from eradicating polio to providing clean water, education, and disaster relief worldwide. Being part of the top contributing zones means we are making an impact on a global scale. Your contributions matter, and together, we are turning generosity into lasting change.
