Four Avenues of Service - Community Service

Community Service is a way for Rotarians to reach out to our community.  Hands-on, active participation in community service is based on projects that touch the lives of individuals in our community.  The primary Honolulu Sunrise focus has been on projects that address literacy environmental and social needs.

Weinberg Foundation Grants 

Annually Honolulu Sunrise Rotary participates with the Weinberg Foundation to provide money for a community foundation.  The Club provides the manpower and, based on our participation, the Weinberg Foundation gives a large donation to an organization that helps the community.  In the past some of the organizations funded have been the Make a Wish Foundation and the Hawaii Children's Cancer Foundation.  We appreciate this support from the Weinberg Foundation.

Business Gameplan

The Honolulu Sunrise Rotary annual Business Gameplan has become well known throughout Hawaii.  This event features outstanding speakers.  Dave Heenan was one of the speakers at our most recent event held in the Coral Ballroom of the Hilton Hawaiian Village.  It is used to raise funds for our service projects throughout the community.
