If you couldn’t make it to this year’s Million Dollar Gala, don’t worry — we’ve got the highlights (minus the dessert and the dance floor). Over 70 Rotarians gathered for an evening of fellowship, inspiration, and a reminder that when Rotary dreams big, lives change.

One of the most talked-about moments came from Joe Kosanovic’s powerful “Grant at Work” video, which beautifully captured how Rotary Foundation dollars create lasting impact both at home and around the world. Through vivid storytelling and real project footage, Joe showcased the true spirit of Service Above Self — lives changed, communities strengthened, and the heart of Rotary in action.

The video served as the perfect kickoff to our 2025–2026 Foundation campaign, where District 5110 has set an ambitious goal of $1.25 million. The message was clear: every contribution, no matter the size, helps turn Rotary passion into real-world progress.

For those wondering — yes, this is the video that had everyone whispering, “Why didn’t we show this sooner?” What a powerful message to each of us.

Next year, Joe gets front-row billing (and maybe his own tech team).

Whether you were in the room or cheering from afar, the energy of the Gala reminds us that Rotary isn’t just about raising funds — it’s about raising hope, one project at a time.

Please watch this video and consider showing to your club and prospective members . KUDOS Joe, for all your dedication and skills to enrich our Rotary experience.
