Raising Funds For Our Projects
Raising funds is a big and meaningful part of our Rotary life—not simply because everything costs money, but because every dollar we raise becomes an opportunity to change someone’s life for the better.
While we are fortunate to receive Rotary grants for some of our larger initiatives, much of what we do is funded by the commitment, creativity, and generosity of our own club members. Together, we roll up our sleeves and make things happen.
Our fundraising efforts come in many shapes and sizes. Sometimes it’s the simple joy of a Sausage Sizzle outside Coles or Bunnings, where a friendly chat and a smile warm the day. Other times it’s the excitement of a Fashion Show, the laughter and teamwork of a Quiz Night, or the community spirit behind a raffle. Each event—big or small—brings people together and strengthens our shared purpose.
These efforts help support our club projects, meaningful causes, and the programs that touch lives across our community.
We are also grateful for the support of local businesses, whose sponsorships help bring our projects to life. Their belief in what we do is a reminder that community is strongest when we lift each other up.
And of course, every donation and event registration, no matter the size, is a gift that fuels the good we can achieve.
Fundraising isn’t just about raising money—it’s about raising hope, raising opportunities, and raising the spirit of service that defines who we are.
Bunnings BBQ
Our regular Bunnings BBQs are one of the Rotary Club of Glenelg’s most recognisable and well‑loved community activities. More than just a fundraiser, these events bring our members together in a spirit of teamwork and service, while engaging directly with the local community.
Each sizzling sausage sold helps us generate vital funds that go straight back into supporting projects, services, and initiatives that make a real difference in Glenelg and beyond. Whether it’s raising money for youth programs, humanitarian efforts, or community improvements, every BBQ helps fuel our mission of giving back.
Rain or shine, you’ll find our volunteers behind the grill—smiling, serving, and strengthening the connection between Rotary and the community we’re proud to support.
Coles BBQ
Our Coles BBQ events have become another valued community tradition for the Rotary Club of Glenelg. Hosted in partnership with Coles, these BBQs not only raise vital funds for our projects but also strengthen our connection with local shoppers and families.
With every sausage served, our members help generate support for initiatives that uplift our community—from youth programs and local services to humanitarian efforts at home and abroad. The Coles BBQs create a warm, welcoming space where community spirit thrives, conversations flow, and meaningful contributions are made one meal at a time.
Through teamwork, dedication, and plenty of sizzling grills, the Rotary Club of Glenelg continues to turn simple moments into meaningful impact.
