A Commitment to Community and Humanitarian Service
Founded in 1955, the Elmhurst Rotary Club is an organization of men and women who are committed to Doing Good in the World through community and humanitarian service and have the extraordinary capacity to change lives locally and globally.
The club supports a diverse range of philanthropic programs and institutions, including District 205 schools, Elmhurst Memorial Hospital, the Elmhurst Library, Park District and YMCA and Elmhurst-Yorkfield Food Pantry as well as other local charities and organizations.
We have also been major contributor to ShelterBox, a Rotary international disaster relief organization that provides shelter, warmth and dignity to victims of natural and man-made disasters.
We raise funds for our charitable work with raffles, special events and donations from our members and the community.
We welcome you to discover how you can make difference in your community and the world. Please contact rob.kopecky@icloud.com to schedule a visit or become a member.
What's Happening at Rotary Club of Elmhurst
We had a very special meeting on April 19, 2018 where the leadership team of the York High School Interact Club, along with faculty representative Leslie Stipe, were presented a $1,000 check from the Rotary Club of Elmhurst in support of their fundraising efforts for RevelationGolf, a charity that teaches the game of golf to war veterans and individuals with disabilities. Additionally this month, long-term members

Take a look at our special video below from the April 19 meeting to listen as student leaders speak about their charitable endeavors with Revelation Golf.
