Rotary Service within the Boulder City Community
The Rotary Club of Boulder City prides itself on the amount of assistance we provide to our wonderful community.
From our mini-grants for special programs in the schools and services we provide to the senior community to our fundraising community events, such as the Best Dam Barbecue and July 4th Pancake Breakfast…not a month passes that we are not serving in our community in some way.
This year, we are on schedule to continue the support we provide through donations and/or support to…
- Boulder City Emergency Aid – We make a financial contribution to support the work Emergency Aid does to help Boulder City residents in need.
- Lend A Hand of Boulder City – We make a financial contribution to support Lend A Hand – a local organization dedicated to assisting seniors remain independent in their homes.
- Every 15 Minutes – Every other year, we co-sponsor this program that re-enacts the potential consequences of drinking/texting while driving for sophomores and junior high school students at Boulder City High School.
- St. Jude’s Ranch for Children – We make a financial contribution in support of St. Jude’s Ranch for Children’s mission of assisting abused, abandoned and neglected children and families.
- Dan Leach Memorial Fund – We support this organization, which provides less fortunate children with positive, fulfilling community and academic-based endeavors currently beyond their reach due to financial barriers.

- American Legion State Leadership training- We provide financial assistance to identified Boulder City High School junior boys and girls to attend state leadership training.
- Four Way Speech Contest – We participate in the Rotary speech contest, where area high school students compete by delivering speeches that demonstrate use of the Rotary Four Way Test. The competition ranges from the club level through the district level.

- Hensel Ethics Essay Contest – We participate in this essay contest for high school students that was started by Rotarian George Hensel. Students include their views of ethics in their essays, which are judged at the club and district level.
- Literacy Project – We work with the Boulder City Library to meet the literacy needs of the community. The club currently assists in buying software for computer literacy and contributing to the summer student reading program.
- Santa Clothes – We are one of many Rotary Clubs in the Las Vegas area who combine our resources (in both money and Rotarians) to take students in need shopping at the mall on a December day to buy $100 worth of clothes. Once the shopping is completed, youngsters and mentors head to UNLV for lunch and activities.
