Rotary District 5050 invites you to be part of a global movement of action, impact, and unity. The EPIC Day of Service will unite more than 2,500 Rotary Clubs and 75,000 Rotarians, community volunteers, and partners across the globe in a single day dedicated to making the world a better place addressing pressing community issues. The EPIC Day of Service is an unprecedented day of giving back to our communities because “Service” is at the core of Rotary’s mission. We use our knowledge of local issues to identify areas of need and then apply our expertise and diverse perspectives to find a solution. Rotary Clubs will work with a Project Partner who is a local nonprofit, historical organization, parks, and non-profit recreation facilities, to mention a few. Together, people create change.
