All proceeds benefit the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, a program that delivers free, high-quality, age-appropriate books each month to children from birth to age five. The global initiative works through local partnerships to put books directly into the hands and homes of young readers, fostering a lifelong love of reading.
The Rotary Club of Surprise and Sun City West has to date enrolled 1,000 pre-school children throughout the Surprise area, adding 12,000 new books this year. With additional donations, this program can be continued and even expanded.
As one of the largest community gatherings in the West Valley, the event serves as a vital fundraiser for the Surprise and Sun City West Rotary Charitable Fund, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to supporting early childhood literacy.
In addition to food, the event will feature over 50 classic cars on display from the West Valley Cruisers Car Club of Surprise and art demonstrations and displays from WHAM and Ground Floor Artists. There will be live music, and a beer garden.
Rotary brings together a global network of volunteer leaders dedicated to tackling the world’s most pressing humanitarian challenges. Rotary connects 1.4 million members of more than 46,000 Rotary clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas. Their work improves lives at both the local and international levels, from helping those in need in their own communities to working toward a polio-free world. For more information, visit Rotary.org.
