The Rotary Club took over Adopt an Angel in 2020 to bring warm coats and toys to low-income Summit children. In the first 2 years, we doubled the program's reach. Last year, Adopt-an-Angel provided over 800 coats to nearly 350 families, and with your help, we aim to reach even more children this season.
Your contribution will go even further on Colorado Gives Day, December 12th! Make a monetary donation and help us ensure that every child experiences the magic of the holidays.

The Summit County Rotary Charitable Fund is the financial engine for all our philanthropic endeavors. We are proud part of worldwide organization--a place where neighbors, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas, join leaders, and take action to create lasting change.
2020 was our first year leading Adopt an Angel, and the community's support was so overwhelming that we've committed to every year since.
While giving toys feels great, giving coats is arguable more important. The 2021 model will allow every registered child to receive a coat of any size/gender. That way they can upsize if they've already got a coat, or get a coat for a parent who's going without. In this way, we hope to do what's best for the whole family.

The first Rotary Club was founded in 1905 in Chicago to address the local need for public restrooms. It has since grown to 1.2 million members across six continents. By that math, our local chapter represents 1/10,000th of the worldwide workforce! The Summit County Rotary Club is our financial engine. Rotary's motto is "service above self" and everything we do must comply with the four way test that is our guiding principle.
"Of the things we think, say, or do:
1) Is it the truth?
2) Is it fair to all concerned?
3) Will it build good will and better friendships?
4) Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
There's an endless amount of literature about the club's 115 year history online. One of our flagship endeavors has been polio eradication.
